Brooks plays LB/RB for Kent Denver and is a rising 2029 player. Measures in at 5’11 195-pounds. Last season, he had 64 total tackles (7 solo, 57 assisted), 3 TFL, 1 FF, 1 FR, with 8 carries for 34 yards and 1 touchdown. Brooks displays good athletic ability due to very good lateral quickness, change of direction, good acceleration, speed, and jumping. Very good read and reaction speed. Brooks is consistently where the action is. Uses his very good range to patrol the field and help assist teammates finish tackles. When he’s blitzing, he gets low and squeezes underneath the OL to get into the backfield. Good block shedding and get off speed to disengage from blocks. Brooks has good tackling ability as well and has solid pass coverage skills. I’m very intrigued to see how this sleeper ups him game during the off-season.
