Saw many of these on my broccoli plant. Never saw them in the garden before today

I guess you live in North America? Your broccoli is infested with the harlequin cabbage bug (Murgantia histrionica) You took a picture of one of the nymphs. Link to Wikipedia: Harlequin cabbage bug
To get rid of them, according to Wikipedia:
Handpick every bug and nymph off your plants.
Search carefully for eggs, which are black and white striped and come in packets of a dozen
