He was the anchor for our legendary 2011 defense. Awesome, awesome player.


Seeing players who were your age when you went to school retire with these stats is a kick in the nuts.

Good for Brockers.

Hope he managed it well & is set up for life.

It’s wild that you also have guys like Big Baby who made 10s of millions & barely had any left once they quit playing.

He is about 7” taller and 150 pounds heavier than I am. So I try not to beat myself up too much.

You should've worked harder to be a 6'5" 320 lb brick shite house of a man that can stand up two NFL offensive lineman at once.

You just didn't work hard enough. Could've been you.

There is always someone better. I happen to be reading a biography of Napoleon Bonaparte. At 17 years old he was what we today would call an Italian. He was from Corsica. So Napoleon was not even French. He spoke French with a poor accent and pronunciation. Ten years later, at 27 years of age, he was the most important person in France. Three years after that he bestrode Europe and was the most important person in the world.

Kind of makes you feel like a failure. At 27 I was playing with my pud.
