Jonathon Brooks Summary:

The Positives

  • Decent change of direction
  • Okay strength though not elite
  • Occasionally will push piles and pull people with him through contact
  • Shiftiness is subtle but there
  • Good patience and vision
  • Age

The Negatives

  • Speed varies but I worry about breakaway runs at the next level being hard to find
  • Only 1 year a starter (which is not necessarily his fault)
  • While he possesses all of the positives above, none are elite traits.

Brooks is decent at a lot, but elite in no areas. He has the potential to be a good pro, but likely never an elite one. His best traits are vision and change of direction that should allow him to pick up the yards that are given and break off a run here or there. His hands suggest the potential to be an every down back, but again the upside is limited.
