Ricky Zeller has just posted a great article on John Brockington, a "Where are they now?" piece which can be found on Packers.com.
I still vividly remember Brockington crashing through defenders at the line of scrimmage and rumbling for big gains. Also remember placing all of my hopes in him during the 1972 playoff game against the Washington Redskins. Unfortunately we also needed something resembling a passing game to allow Brockington to be effective. The Skins stacked the box, he couldn't run, game over.
Today Brockington is a financial advisor and lives in San Diego, California. The article also shares John's memories of running into a Chicago Bears linebacker named Dick Butkus. Great stuff and worth a look.
