More on Brooks (No, NOT Leon)

I've heard that Brooks was really good two years ago, but after some off the field problems he got lazy and EXTREMELY out of shape. He just wasn't the same.

Brooks, a senior, led Virginia in tackles as a freshman and sophomore but played in only six games during an injury-riddled 2005. As a sophomore, Brooks was All-ACC and a Butkus Award finalist. But he ballooned to 270 pounds as he struggled to recover from knee and ankle injuries last year.

An oft-injured, poor character LB? Haha no thanks.
