For fourteen seasons, Sunday after Sunday (and sometimes on Monday), down after down, play after play, this NFL Hall of Fame linebacker solidified a legendary career on the gridiron. He is famous for never missing a single game during his professional football career which was spent playing for just one team; the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Derrick Brooks is considered one of the modern greats of the game and in 2014, he was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in his very first year of eligibility. But the football field isn't the only place where Derrick has proven himself to be a champion. Throughout his career, Derrick devoted his free time to learning everything he could about wealth management and personal finance. He actually hired a business manager BEFORE hiring an agent. This dedication to personal finance is especially impressive considering the fact that when Derrick was in college, he didn't know how to deposit a check. He actually had never even heard of a checking account. Because of this experience early in life, today Derrick dedicates most of his time to helping to improve the lives and opportunities of poor kids all over Tampa.
