Touché but I think Brooks can be better as a pass rusher.

Brooks was never used in a traditional safety role as a freshman like Simmmons was. I don't see Brooks beefing up to 240 like Simmons either.

I agree with you but have we seen Brooks in coverage? I honestly don’t remember. That was a big plus on Simmons (and Stevens).

Definitely his high school tape showed he has a bunch of tools on the coverage side and this year he proved he can be an above average pass rusher. It's a matter of where Bo wants to use him. With all the depth at the DB position we probably won't see a lot of coverage opportunities, but will be able to get after the qb a lot.

It's a good question. But I don't think he'll get as big as Simmons. He certainly has the speed.

Not even close.

He has a lot of potential, but he's not on that level.

Not as big but yes I believe he can become that kind of versatile Swiss Army knife. We’ve already seen he can rush the passer, he’s slated to start at LB, and his HS tape shows his ability to cover and ball hawk. I’m excited to see him play this year he’s got potential to be special.

He will be on the field making plays. Don’t care who you wanna compare him to.

Marcel Brooks will be a great playmaker in the BP defense!
Extremely talented defensive player...........
High draft pick potential for sure.

God I hope not!

Simmons is a big game choke artist like AJ Terrell.

Marcel Brooks and Jabril Cox are going to terrify SEC QBs this season. With Bo Pelini and a dual sack threat, long nights await OCs in the SEC.

FEAR of Brooks + Cox in lieu of one K’Lavon is so bad among OCs scheming to move the rock against LSU, that the reports reaching Smart and Saban offseason have already triggered their shared IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).

SABAN & KIRBY FEAR ==========COX

Saban Fears LSU COX

Edit Add ... You just gotta watch that snowstorm interception!!! This guy is a once in a generation madman and former QB with an uncanny ability to cover and make great picks

I’m going to guess brooks will be the new Deion Jones. Explosive player that needs to put on some weight (assuming he stays at LB)

Maybe a smaller version but Simmons length helps him be who he is

The fact that he weighs 250 and runs a 4.3 makes him who he is

Simmons was a top 10 pick.
