Joining Brooks is Cam Johnson, a San Francisco rookie linebacker. He also attended the University of Virginia and went to Gonzaga College High School in Washington. (See Johnson’s bio here.)

Ravens fans have to be hoping not to see Tyrod Taylor, who attended Virginia Tech and went to high school at Hampton High School in Hampton. (See Taylor’s bio here.) Why are Ravens fans rooting against his appearance? He's the backup quarterback.
