The following gives you an idea of Brock s character. When I asked him about alcohol and drug abuse.  I ve seen a lot of people lose track of their goals because of alcohol. I ve seen people and friends get 30 on their ACT but never go to college or drop out.<br> As a 9th grader, I gave in to peer pressure and got into trouble because of alcohol. My dad talked to me about my goals. I really thank my dad. He never pushed me but gave me all the help in the world. So I never took another drink in high school after that.<br> When I got to Missouri, I made it a point to let everyone know that I wasn t a drinking guy. Family, education, God and work ethic are what is important. <br>Coach Toub talks about Brock s work ethic in a challenge that he accepted.  Everybody thought it was impossible. We have this awesome hill nearby. The challenge was to run up to the top and back down twenty times in twenty minutes. Brock had it all planned out and he met the challenge with two minutes to spare. <br>Brock thinks highly of his strength coaches.  I give them all the credit in the world. My strength coaches have really helped me and our team prepare for football. <br>Brock s motto is  Dream Big. His dad told him that he would have to work harder than everyone because he wasn t blessed like others.  I believe you should take advantage of every opportunity. I love the Latin phrase  Carpe Diem which means  Seize the Day. That s what I want to do everyday now and in the future.<br> After my playing days are over, I want to be involved in football. I want to give back what I ve been given to the kids of the future. <br>I understood after my interview with Brock what the media guide said about him being the most dedicated athlete in America. Brock is a true eleven  a true Upper Limit athlete. We thank him for being such a great example!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 Gandy u for a new contract and the Rams not inclined to resign their starting right tackle, the 1999 right tackle job was to be Brooks .<br>But in June of 1999, as Brooks was preparing for his third season with the Rams, tragedy struck. His wife, Jackie, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. He decided to put his athletic career on hold for several months to help her through the trauma of chemotherapy. Brooks was subsequently released b the Rams, and he turned down offers from both the Saints, Cowboys and the Jaguars.<br> As his wife s health began to improve, Brooks signed with the Cardinals (over the Jaguars and the Broncos) in the 2000 season and reunited with his offensive line coach from the Rams, George Warhop. Again Brooks made the final roster; and when the starter at left tackle L.J. Shelton became injured, Brooks saw more playing time.  Shelton went down the first play of the first game, so I got to play that whole game, and then the following two games I started. However, at the end of the season the Cardinals decided not to extend player who had missed significant amounts of practice time, as Brooks had in caring for his wife. Brooks was immediately picked up by the Broncos.<br>In February 2001 tragedy struck again, and this time Jackie lost her battle with cancer. There
