Approximately 13 months later on his Pro Day, Brooks weighed in 22 pounds heavier and had lowered his forty time to 4.92. He also bench pressed 225 for 26 reps, vertical jumped 34 inches and long jumped 9 4 .<br>Although his scores were good, Brooks was competing against Division I players who had had years of exposure playing against Division I opponents. In contrast, all Brooks had for evidence of his talent were films of him being double and triple-teamed against Division III players. Despite these odds, the teams testing him were impressed and he was drafted in the seventh round by the Atlanta Falcons. 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 Gandy up for a new contract and the Rams not inclined to resign their starting right tackle, the 1999 right tackle job was to be B
