“I’M HERE TO REWRITE HISTORY” — Ex-Dolphins Bulldozer Aims to Form a “Perfect Duo” with Josh Jacobs
GREEN BAY, Wisconsin — The Green Bay Packers aren’t just looking for a safety net behind Josh Jacobs. They want a plug-and-play piece for when the game’s tempo flips. And Chris Brooks — praised for his versatility — believes the Lambeau backfield can climb to a new tier.
“I’M HERE TO REWRITE HISTORY.”
Brooks steps into Matt LaFleur’s system with a clear message: spell Jacobs at the right moments, steady the run game, and shut the door in the fourth quarter. He’s not dressing it up:
“I’m a competitor. I came here to compete,” Brooks said. “My job is to complement Josh as best I can—and we’re going to be the best duo in the league. But beyond that, I came to Green Bay to rewrite history: to change how people talk about the Packers’ run game, about durability in December, and about what this backfield stands for in January.”
On the whiteboard, the Packers add a back who hits creases in zone/duo, protects in pass pro, and moves the pile in short yardage — the very “back of all trades” the team has praised. Brooks’ presence lets LaFleur diversify 21/12 personnel, use motion to tug defenders off Jacobs, and then hammer the box when needed.
The personnel picture also supports the “duo” scenario. Jacobs remains the No. 1 bell-cow; Brooks slots into the heavy complementary role (short-yardage, tempo, QB protection), while Emanuel Wilson and MarShawn Lloyd (questionable) compete for situational snaps. With many projections listing Jacobs–Brooks–Wilson as a viable RB trio for the 53, the Jacobs–Brooks axis looks even more plausible.
To close his media hit. Brooks put a stamp on it:
“We’re not here to split carries; we’re here to set a standard. With Josh, every touch is a statement — and in Green Bay, we’re rewriting the backfield script.”
