Durant Brooks NFL Draft Bio
Durant Stiles Brooks (born April 15, 1985 in Macon, Georgia) is an American football punter who is currently a free agent. He was drafted by Washington Redskins in the sixth round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He played college football at Georgia Tech.
Brooks has also been a member of the Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Jacksonville Jaguars.
Brooks attended Georgia Military College and was a student and a two-year letterman in football. In football, he posted an average of 40 yards per punt over two years. In his senior season, Brooks had an average of 45.3.
After graduating from Georgia Military College, Brooks attended Georgia Tech, punting for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets as a redshirt junior. In his two years at Georgia Tech, Brooks had 144 punts: nearly half (68) landed inside the 20 yard line, while 57 went for more than 50 yards. His longest punt came in his final ACC game in 2007: playing against North Carolina, Brooks stood at the back of his own end-zone and punted the ball to the opposite 16-yard line - the punt was officially marked as 77 yards (from the line of scrimmage at the seven to the opposite 16), but measured over 90 yards from the spot of the punt.
As a junior, Brooks came in third place for the Ray Guy Award, given to the best punter in the country. He was also named to the All-American second team by AP, and the All-ACC first team.
As a senior, Brooks received the Ray Guy Award, ranking second in the ACC (and fourth in the nation) in punting average while only allowing his opponents to return 19 of his 65 punts. That year, he was also named to the All-American second team by AP (first team by Sports Illustrated and Rivals) and the All-ACC first team.
