Former Louisville star’s NFL hopes soar after jaw-dropping catch with Commanders

Former Louisville football star wide receiver Ja'Corey Brooks is back in the news after making a jaw-dropping catch in training camp for the Washington Commanders.

Brooks went undrafted and was quickly signed by the Commanders moments after the 2025 NFL Draft concluded, and has been making a name for himself all camp. In the first week of camp, Brooks was named as one of the standout players of the week after catching three touchdown passes in two days.

The former Cardinal continues to trend in the news for the Commanders and is hoping to make Dan Quinn's 53-man roster team, and this eye-popping one-handed catch only helps his case on why Quinn should select him.
