September 1, 2024
British Brooks experienced nerve-wracking anticipation on NFL cut day as he fought to secure a spot on the Texans' roster as an undrafted player. His hard work throughout the offseason, including training with his cousin, paid off when he received no call about being cut, bringing him immense relief. Initially seen as a longshot due to his lack of college stardom, deep competition at his position, and journey through injuries, Brooks embodied a relentless mindset—“just be a dawg.” He earned praise for his performance during the preseason, rushing for 49 yards and scoring two touchdowns while showcasing his versatility on special teams and as a lead blocker. Coach DeMeco Ryans highlighted his dedication, preparation, and toughness as key factors that justified his place on the team. Brooks has come a long way from experiencing self-doubt due to past injuries, demonstrating remarkable resilience and an eagerness to contribute wherever needed on the field.
