Brooks fitting in just fine on Riders defensive line
Back in June when the Roughriders signed Mic’hael Brooks, many wondered why the team needed another defensive lineman.
Already stacked with stars like Willie Jefferson, Charleston Hughes and Zack Evans, it didn’t exactly appear necessary, but for Jones it was a no-brainer.
“Mic’hael Brooks two-three years ago was one of the top in the league at the position so we always file those away,” Jones said. “He came at the right price and we were able to get a very good player that wanted the opportunity to show he still had some game.”
Brooks spent three seasons with the B.C. Lions before being released in May of this year. He said it’s taken a little bit, but he finally adjusted to being in Saskatchewan.
