The Jacksonville Jaguars haven’t just been emphasizing getting better on the field, but they’ve been trying to do the same off of it. That goal seemed to be achieved this week as it was announced that they would be adding a former defensive back and return specialist of the team to their digital group in Bucky Brooks.
Brooks, 49, is a huge addition to the Jags’ media team when considering his resume in the football community. He’s spent the last six seasons with NFL Network, providing analysis on the draft, co-hosting the “Move the Sticks Podcast” alongside Daniel Jeremiah, and also providing weekly analysis on the NFL in general.
Brooks was drafted in the second-round of the 1994 draft (No. 48 overall selection) out of North Carolina by the Buffalo Bills. After a season with the Bills, he spent two with the Green Bay Packers before joining the Jags from 1996-97. Afterward, he followed his time in Duval up with another stint with the Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Oakland Raiders.
Brooks registered most of his stats as a return specialist, finishing it with 26 kick returns for 574 yards. During his time in Jacksonville, he played with Jags greats Natrone Means, Jimmy Smith, Keenan McCardell, Jimmy Smith, Mark Brunell, and Tony Boselli.
