Derrick Brooks

6-0 1/4, 228 lbs, 4.65/40 yd dash

Shaq Thompson

6-0, 228 lbs, 4.64/40 yd dash

Brooks was an LB/Safety tweener going into draft

Shaq is a LB/ Safety tweener entering the draft

He was drafted in Rd1, 28th overall in 1995. 20 years ago, our inaugural season.

[The Lobo]

I have said it for months now, please draft this kid.

I feel like the 3-position situation with Shaq has made him seem like way more of an appealing prospect than he actually is.
