re: GREATEST LB of all time for LSU

OP I can’t change your mind. I went to Ruston High. We won state in 1982 and I can without doubt say Michael Brooks is the scariest human being I’ve ever been around on a football field. He knocked damn near every QB out of the game we played. If they could fix knees in Michael’s era like they can today Michael Brooks would have been one of the Top 10 linebackers in NFL history. Below are some things Michael Strahan, a scary dude himself on the field, said about Brooks.

"I was fortunate to play in the league 15 years and be around a lot of great players," said Michael Strahan, the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 2001, a seven-time Pro Bowler and two-time NFC Defensive Player of the Year who was a New York Giants' teammate of Brooks from 1993 until 1995. "He's the toughest man I have ever been around and I was with the Giants for one year while Lawrence Taylor was there. "Of course, 'L.T'. was tough as nails. But Michael Brooks? Man, I would want him by me if I had to go fight somewhere. That is one solid man of intimidating muscle."
