MICHIGAN CURSE, IT GOES BACK EARLIER
We older fans remember the Big Ten Defensive star DT for two years drafted #1 by Tom Landry in 1985 Kevin Brooks, drafted to replace aging DT's John Dutton and Randy White. In the first game of 1984 against Bernie Kosar and NCAA Champion Miami Hurricanes, I recall seeing Brooks dominate with three QB sacks. So when he was drafted in the first round, I was excited.
He was a big bust, the start of the MICHIGAN CURSE, leading to Tom Landry's demise. When Jimmy Johnson came in, he traded him away because he was a guy who underperformed his natural talent.
