That’s right, the heart and soul of Tampa Bay’s Super Bowl-winning defense made the all-time roster on Friday, officially cementing his status as one of the best linebackers to play the game.
Brooks was a key figure in Tampa Bay’s glory days, back when the Bucs were perennial playoff contenders. He helped the franchise capture its first Super Bowl in 2002 with a victory over the Oakland Raiders.
No. 55 is known for making plays all over the field. None of that speaks more than his eight defensive touchdowns (including playoffs), especially the four he recorded in 2002, when he won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award.
