James Brooks Biography
James Brooks is one of the most popular and richest American Football Player who was born on December 28, 1958 in Warner Robins, Warner Robins, United States. James Brooks (born December 28, 1958) is an American former professional football player who was a running back in the National Football League (NFL). He earned four Pro Bowl selections. He played college football for the Auburn Tigers.
He was a key participant in two of the most famous games in NFL Lore during his rookie season with the Chargers: The Epic in Miami, and the Freezer Bowl. However, he started only seven games in three seasons with the Chargers, always second on the team to Chuck Muncie in rushing attempts and yards. He had only one 100-yard game with the Chargers, a 12-carry, 105-yard, 3-touchdown outing against his future teammates. In 1984, he was traded to the Bengals for Pete Johnson, a move still widely regarded as the best trade in Bengals franchise history.
Brooks was arrested in 1999 for failure to pay child support, owing over $110,000. During proceedings, it was revealed that Brooks was illiterate, despite having received a college degree. When asked by the judge how he graduated from Auburn, Brooks said, “I didn’t have to go to class.” He served three months of a six months sentence before being assigned to a work release program.
As of 2017’s NFL off-season, James Brooks held at least 5 Bengals franchise records, including:
He was used sparingly at first, only reaching 10 carries in three games in the 1984 season. Though he started every game in 1985, he and fullback Larry Kinnebrew finished the season with almost identical carry and yardage stats. His breakthrough season was 1986, which included his arguably most memorable run in a December 7 contest against the New England Patriots. In that play, Brooks made several cutbacks, broke several tackles and dragged defenders the final five yards across the goal line for a Bengals 56-yard touchdown run; he finished the game with 163 yards rushing, and 101 yards receiving, one of only two 100/100 games in Bengals history. This was his sixth season in the league, but the first where he reached 1,000 rushing yards (a then-franchise record 1,087 rushing yards) and the pro-bowl. A determined rusher, Brooks was noted for his ability to make yards after contact, and continue fighting for extra inches in the process of being tackled. After missing half the 1987 season with an injury, he returned with 931 yards and career-bests in rushing touchdowns (8) and receiving touchdowns (6) in 1988 and was instrumental in the Bengals run to Super Bowl XXIII. In 1989, he powered his way to a career-best/franchise-record 1,239 rushing yards (7th in the NFL), and again broke 1,000 yards in 1990, including a 201-yard performance against the Houston Oilers. He started 1991 with two 100+ rushing games in Weeks 2 and 3, but had progressively fewer carries the rest of the season (102 rushes for two touchdowns and a 3.3 yards-per-carry average, never once breaking 50 yards over the next 12 games). He was traded to the Browns in 1992, then to the Buccaneers midway through the season, retiring after a minor injury in Game 6.
