- When used downfield, he shows the ball-tracking skills and hand-eye coordination to make the adjustment on underthrown balls and back-shoulder throws.
- Does a nice job locating and tracking deep passes and is a legitimate vertical threat. Willing to go up and attack the ball.

Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Does not have elite speed to burn by defenders. Does not drop his hips to get in position while blocking and fails to take correct angles to his man.
- He’ll have to develop a better feel for sitting down against zone coverage.
- Brooks seems comfortable in traffic to the point where Brooks doesn’t make the effort to create separation.
