And I'm not saying this because one of the reasons is that he is a Buffalo Bill. I'm saying it because it is the only reason. wow...strong statement - how can you back it up ?
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Everyone say bye bye to Reggie Corner: STRENGTHS Brooks is athletic, knows how to cover receivers out of the slot and takes full advantage of his hip mobility and flexibility. He is a quick-twitch athlete with noticeable explosiveness. He is effective in coverage and can blitz when given the chance to rush full-speed from the edge. He can make plays all over the field, whether as a nickel corner, an offbeat edge rusher, or a gunner/cover man on special teams.

BRAWNDO Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Add a another Tackle in the fifth and the draft is complete!!

We are probably saying goodbye to McKelvin or Rogers.
Golden Wheels Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Quote At the NFL Combine, he tore off a blistering 4.37 40-yard dash (5th-best overall), broad jumped 10 feet and recorded a 38-inch vertical. As these numbers suggest, he's got electric speed and explosion. And, something NFL teams are sure to value: on tape, Brooks repeatedly makes plays, whether it be working as a nickel corner, an edge blitzer, or as a special teams gunner. As evidence, here's a career highlight video [see earlier in this thread](watch him lay some wood on special teams!). The knock on Brooks primarily focus on his inexperience; he has started only two career games, both when filling in for injured teammate Tyran Matthieu. In his limited opportunities, however, he has, frankly, been awesome: in 2011, he returned both of his interceptions for touchdowns (and is 3 for 3 in his career). . . As Brooks's game lines attest, he has been a big-time playmaker during his college career - when he's been on the field. http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2012/4/24/2964793/cowboys-2012-draft-prospects-lsu-cb-ron-brooks

Snapple Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 In that video you see his eye black? "Why so serious" haha

Is he still PS eligible? Say we keep Williams, Gilmore, Florence, McGee, McKelvin and Brooks on the active roster. I pretty much expect McGee to get hurt so having Rogers waiting on PS would be great.
Joaquin1119 Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 well im looking to see what chan going do with Ron Brooks. But as a starting CB i can't see that happening..only time would tell
