Larry Brooks played all 131 of his Games in the NFL with the Los Angeles Rams where he was the team’s starting Defensive Tackle for the majority of it.  Although Quarterback Sacks were not official statistics when he played he planted pivots on the ground many times including a 14.5 season in 1976.  Brooks was also among his team’s top tacklers.  Brooks was a First Team All-Pro Selection once in 1979, but he was often in the conversation for more.  Likely the only thing that kept Brooks from being a more prominent name was that he played alongside some colorful players on the Rams defense, but those who watched him knew how good he was.
