Brandon Brooks, RG (2016 to present). 4. player. 54. . .

By the time his playing days are over, we might be talking about Brandon Brooks as being one of the greatest Eagles to ever don a green jersey and somebody that needs to be thrown into the discussion as someone who’s worthy of being a member of the Eagles Hall of Fame.

Heck, maybe this is an emotional statement, but is it ridiculous to think that Brooks deserves some consideration as a guy that could find his way to Canton, Ohio?

They normally don’t name guards as guys who are realistic prospects for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but Brandon Brooks could make us all rethink that position. More of his story needs to be written. He’s by no means a sure thing, but after four brilliant seasons in Philly and four -consecutive Pro Bowl nods, there needs to be some sort of discussion.
