He lined up in-line, in the backfield, and on the perimeter. 

On our first TD (8:24 mark) he was lined up outside with a CB on him, and he came across the entire formation to seal the LB for Brown's TD. 

Then coming out of half time, he caught the first ball for a first down, then had three great blocks for Brown that led to 40+ yards, putting us in the Panthers red zone. One of the blocks was on a safety 10 yards downfield on a swing pass to Brown. 

These plays signified to me hat he is truly a complete TE. With him, you can show a power run and simultaneously a pass, from the same formation. 

Last year he caught 20 of 22 targets for 7.9 yards per. Taylor was opening the passing game for him with some curls and outs, but the unfortunate happened. 

he had flashes no doubt, but we roll the year back one, we would be talking about Hudson at this point and his even better play in 2023 but last year he was not in the plans as much, you just can;t predict the future for players, and since Hudson is still here hope you gives us the Hudson of 23 not 24, as for All, doubt he sees the field for Bengals again but hope he recovers but now back to the thread at hand, im putting odds 35% Brooks makes roster, will be a practice squad player if not, we will see if we are able to keep him on PS.
