I think he adds about 20-25 lbs of muscle in the offseason and stays as an rush OLB...


Which puts him at 215-220.

Still not big enough to be an every down player

But you could use him like Stevens, he can be on the field every play. Even rush the passer (Stevens leads team in sacks). Wreak havoc in the box and develop him for where he will play in the nfl

I think he will be the next stevens. Which is good because the blueprint for his role is in place already.

He'll be fine at 220-225lbs... With most teams converting to spread/rpo schemes, the times of needing 235+ pound LBs are gone. Debo Jones weighed about 220 and Kwon Alexander was around 225lbs during his senior year. Brooks is probably around 200lbs now.

Brooks said a few weeks ago he was up to 212-215

25 pounds would put him the same weight as Chaisson

Chaisson as you saw Saturday drops in coverage a lot

I would love to see him a safety too but they tried him there and O said it wasn’t best for him. Plus next year your starters at safety are likely Hampton and Harris
