Bucky Brooks is a former NFL player turned analyst, now in his sixth season with NFL Network and NFL.com. After being drafted in the second round by the Buffalo Bills in 1994, he spent five years in the league primarily as a kick returner before moving into media. These days he co-hosts the podcast *Move the Sticks* with fellow ex-scout Daniel Jeremiah, where the two break down game previews, draft scouting, and whatever else the NFL calendar throws at them. Brooks also contributes weekly columns and video features like "Scout's Take" and "On the Beat" to NFL.com, and he pops up regularly on the Dave Dameshek Football Program to talk drafts and lists. His work covers a wide range — draft projections, MVP predictions, Super Bowl picks, roster rankings — with particular attention to running backs, quarterbacks, and young players entering the league.
