Eagles’ three-time Pro Bowl right guard Brandon Brooks announced that he’s retiring after 10 NFL seasons, with six spent in Philadelphia.
The massive 32-year-old Pro Bowl guard announced his decision Wednesday, saying goodbye while explaining that his body simply ran out of time.
“The past six years, I wouldn’t trade for the world,” Brooks said. “It didn’t end the way I would have liked it, but to me, it’s never about the ending, it’s about the journey.”
Brooks was dominant while earning three straight Pro Bowl nods from 2017-to 2019, but injuries have caused the right guard to reassess his future.
Brooks suffered a shoulder injury that forced him to miss the 2019 postseason, he suffered a torn Achilles that wiped out his entire 2020 season, and in Week 2, 2021, Brooks suffered a pectoral strain and was placed on IR.
Eagles players, fans, and the media reacted and the love was pouring out on social media.
