Former Cincinnati Bengals running back James Brooks has been inducted into the franchise's Ring of Honor, recognizing a career defined by relentless effort. Brooks, who played for Cincinnati from 1984 to 1991, earned the honor through consistent production and durability that made him one of the most reliable offensive weapons in team history.
"I never took a break," Brooks said, reflecting the work ethic that powered his eight seasons with the Bengals. A four-time Pro Bowl selection, Brooks amassed over 6,000 rushing yards and 3,000 receiving yards during his Cincinnati tenure, showcasing rare versatility as both a runner and pass-catcher out of the backfield.
The induction ceremony took place as part of the Bengals' ongoing celebration of franchise legends. Brooks joins an exclusive group of players whose contributions have been permanently honored by the organization.
