Ron Brooks

Ron Brooks (born October 16, 1988) is an American former professional football player who was a cornerback in the National Football League (NFL). He was selected by the Buffalo Bills in fourth round of the 2012 NFL draft. He played college football for the LSU Tigers. He also played for the Philadelphia Eagles and San Diego Fleet.

A native of Irving, Texas, Brooks attended MacArthur High School, where he was a decorated dual-threat quarterback. As a senior, he rushed for 1,264 yards and 19 touchdowns, and also threw for 882 yards and nine touchdowns while being named the District 7-5A MVP. He was selected to the 2007 U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, Texas.

Brooks was a four-star recruit as an athlete coming out of high school by Rivals.com. He chose Louisiana State University over offers from Arkansas, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M.

Appearing in 53 games, he accumulated 90 tackles, including 12.5 for loss, 5.5 sacks, ten pass breakups, three interceptions, and forced five fumbles while recovering three. He started in three games in his career at LSU, playing behind Patrick Peterson, Morris Claiborne, and Tyrann Mathieu.

Brooks was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the fourth round, 124th overall, of the 2012 NFL draft. The Bills previously traded Lee Evans to the Baltimore Ravens to acquire the pick used to select Brooks.

In his rookie season, he missed the first seven games due to a broken bone in his foot he sustained in the final pre-season game against the Detroit Lions. He was placed on injured reserve with the "designated to return" label. He returned in Week 9 against the Houston Texans, and went on to play in nine games, starting in two of them, and finished his rookie season with 19 tackles and four passes defended.

On December 2, 2012, Brooks made his first career NFL start and led the Bills with a season high nine tackles and three passes defensed against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Brooks spent his 2013 season mostly on special teams, recording only 7 tackles on the season.
