Scouting Report: Strengths
- Plays with natural leverage and has the strength to anchor against the bull rush. Brooks also packs a violent initial punch that can stand up pass rushers.
- Has the functional strength to hold up against the bull rush, and Brooks shows exceptionally quick and precise hands.
- Shows excellent awareness when presented with stunts and blitzes, and he works well with teammates on combo blocks
- Hand placement is excellent, and he shows a good understanding of angles when climbing upfield
- Brooks does a nice job working with teammates to build the pocket, anchoring against bull rushers and displaying good awareness against stunts and twists.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Not great in space and tends to lose power the farther Brooks has to move; he doesn’t finish as well on the second level as he does battle in the phone booth around the line of scrimmage.
- While he probably fits best as a right tackle, he has an outside chance at surviving on the left side for a team with a power-running attack.
- Lets pass rushers get into his body, catching them rather than using his considerable length to deliver a punch. Brooks is going to have some difficulty if he’s asked to block on an island early on.
- He’ll occasionally stop his feet when delivering a punch, and he doesn’t play with ideal balance when moving back into his set. He’ll often struggle to mirror if he can’t win early on passing plays.
