Cornerback
No. 37
Bishop
"The No. 11 draft choice in 1974, Brooks came to the Giants on the recommendation of scout Emlen Tunnell who was impressed with his size and potential. Bobby won himself a spot in the training camp and came up with a 26-yard interception for a touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers in preseason play.
During the regular season, he was a key man on special teams and also got in some playing time at the right corner. Bobby had five kickoff returns for 106 yards and also returned a punt nine yards. He not only became a starter last year but led the club in interceptions with four for 38 yards and continued his solid hitting. With all his attributes, he has great overall potential.
Brooks was a safetyman for three seasons at Bishop, earning his good ratings for that hitting ability and strength as well as for his good speed in covering opponents' top receivers. He was clocked in 4.7 for the 40 while in college.
He was born in Dallas and played his high school sports at I.M. Terrell High School in Big D. Bobby still resides in Dallas during the off-seasons."
