Ron Brooks (born October 16, 1988) is an American football cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He played college football at LSU.

Early life

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.[1] He chose LSU over offers from Arkansas, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M.

College career

Appearing in 53 games, he accumulated 90 tackles, including 12.5 for loss, 5.5 sacks, ten pass breakups, 3 interceptions, forced five fumbles while recovering three. He only started three games in his career at LSU, mainly due to the fact he was playing behind many talented cornerbacks such as Patrick Peterson, Morris Claiborne, and Tyrann Mathieu.
