The catch, however, was that Brooks was being drafted as an offensive lineman.<br><br>Welcome to the NFL<br><br>Brooks spent the entire off-season working out as an offensive tackle, but by the second exhibition game he was moved to defensive tackle. Nevertheless, Brooks still made the final roster of 53 as a defensive tackle, although by week 10 of the regular season Brooks was again moved back to the offensive line.  It took me a while to get comfortable with the changes, and the pro game is much more competitive and so much faster says Brooks.  But in terms of my strength level, I felt pretty good; I felt that I fit in right away. <br>Unfortunately, the June Jones regime that drafted Brooks in 1996 was replaced when Dan Reeves took over, and Brooks was sent to NFL Europe. Brooks agent, Robert McManus, was reluctant to agree to this decision because Brooks would have to postpone learning Dan Reeves complicated offensive system. McManus says he told the Falcon s Personnel Director Harold Richardson,  As long as you give him an opportunity to learn the offensive system when he gets back from Europe, I will go along with this allocation. As a result, Brooks played for the Frankfurt Galaxy at left tackle, but was then traded to Rhein Fire to play right tackle. Rhein went all the way to the World Bowl in June, and Brooks was named to the first team All NFL Europe team at right tackle This was both good news and bad.<br>Because Rhein had gone to the World Bowl, Brooks had missed all the Falcon mini camps. Because he lacked experience with Reeves complex system and because the team desperately needed defensive linemen, Brooks was again moved back to defense. Once more Brooks made the final roster of 53, but after the first week of the season Brooks was released so Reeves could add an experienced defensive tackle in Shane Dronett. Fortunately, Brooks was soon picked up by the Rams to be groomed once again as an offensive tackle, and his career seemed to be back on track. He played swing tackle behind two first round picks in Orlando Pace and Wayne Gandy in 1998. With Gancut above the rest is his thankful attitude. He says, "I am thankful for getting your BFS books back then, along with the excellent coaching that I have received over the past few years, the competition my teammates constantly provide, and the positive support of my parents." Robbie feels a great respect and love for all those who have helped him and continue to help him accomplish his goals. <br>Because of Robbie's great attitude and dedication he will not fail, he will raise above all. Robbie is very excited to continue to prove himself and to get better. About next year's season he excitedly says, "Iam looking forward to good things for me and my teammates during the 1998-99 school year. Last year Coach Moriarity's Panthers were ranked nationally in USA Today and playd for the state championship. My teammates and I feel that if we stick together and listen to our coaches, we will play for the state championship again and bring back another state title to Bloomington South High School."<br>Because of his early desire to be the best, coupled with an attitude of dedication and desire, Robbie has proved he can do it. There is no stopping him now.he also works as an assistant track coach, training the vaulters and heptathletes. Her husband, Brent, is also an ISU student, majored in crimina
