Then and now: Geno Hayes
Is Geno Hayes the next Derrick Brooks?I continue to break down the 2008 draft class; next on the list is the 6th round pick, Geno Hayes. Hayes, the 6’1”, 226 lb. linebacker out of FSU, came into a very tough situation, filling the shoes of Derrick Brooks (not the easiest situation to walk into).
Hayes came to the Bucs and in 2008 appeared in only 9 games, totaling 11 tackles...

I guess my invitation got lost in the mail, Jonathan?

Brooks always felt comfortable returning to One Buc Place following his release
Linebacker Derrick Brooks has made it clear he didn't like 'the process,' the Bucs used to release him after 14 seasons. He was part of a five-player purge on Feb. 25, 2009.
So it was probably more important for the Bucs' organization than it was for Brooks to make his formal retirement announcement at One Buc Place Thursday.
Brooks was introduced Wednesday by Bucs...
