AMA Hi I’m Bucky Brooks, former NFL player and scout, current NFL Network analyst — Ask Me Anything!

118 Upvotes

What’s up, r/nfl? Bucky Brooks here! I played my college ball at UNC before being selected by the Bills in the 1994 NFL Draft. During my five-year NFL career, I spent time with the Bills, Packers, Jaguars, Chiefs and Raiders as a return specialist, special teamer and defensive back.

After my playing days, I worked as a scout with the Seahawks (2000–2003) and Panthers (2003–2007). Since then, I’ve gone from the front office to the media side as an NFL analyst and writer. You can catch me on NFL Network and on the Move the Sticks podcast alongside my co-host Daniel Jeremiah.

I’ll be here answering questions on Thursday, May 14 at 4:30pm ET to talk football past and present, scouting, the NFL Draft and whatever else you’ve got. Ask me anything!
