How do we equate one of the greatest ever? Do we have to mention his name all the time or is he the assuming leader who shows by example. If you were looking for a leader than Derrick brooks would be at the head of your class. Brooks has anchored the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense for a long time and 10 Pro Bowls and 9 All-Pro seasons will get him in the Hall Of Fame.
What sets Brooks apart from others is his willingness to help others on his team and the community that is what a real leader is. Yes, Derrick is not the player he once was, but give me him any day of the week and I will win a lot of football games.
