Brandon Brooks is the Eaglesâ starting right guard, which makes him a somewhat popular person in Philadelphia -- at least more popular than Santa Claus. So, when two Eagles fans sent Brooks an invitation for their wedding, Iâm guessing they figured Brooks wouldnât show up or even respond.
But Brooks responded.

And then he showed up to the wedding, providing proof of his presence:

For the record, this is the second super cool thing that Brooks has done this offseason, as Bleeding Green Nationâs Brandon Lee Gowton pointed out. A month ago, he bought his dad a car.
I've been blessed and it was time to pass it on. So to my dad although I would've loved the chevelle. I wanted you to have this. ✊🏽 pic.twitter.com/Y2q7AbVKqr

So, itâs been a good few months for Brooks. Heâs coming off a season in which he was Pro Football Focusâ fourth-highest graded guard. According to PFF, he allowed just one sack and two quarterback hits all season long.
