Almost a month ago, safety Terrence Brooks was thanking his lucky stars he'd been traded to the Jets.
"I was happy that a team wanted me to be here and contribute," he told me after the final preseason game against his former team, the Eagles. "That's the thing. It doesn't matter to me where I go. I just want to play football, go out there and prove to myself I can do it."
After his official home debut as a Jet during the home-opening win over the Dolphins, Brooks showed a lot of folks besides himself what he can do.
