‘It Was A Great Situation For Me:’ Former Steelers OL Barrett Brooks Recalls Unheralded Role With Team

Barrett Brooks finished his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers and he has a Super Bowl ring to show for it. Brooks, an offensive tackle who began his career as a second round pick with the Philadelphia Eagles, joined the Steelers in 2003 and carved a role as a reserve lineman. Even though he never started a game in Pittsburgh, Brooks looks back fondly on his time in Pittsburgh.

“It was a great situation for me because I was more-so a player coach. My offensive line coach was Russ Grimm,” Brooks said on the Sports Goat Talk podcast.
