LB Jordyn Brooks Texas Tech.

A couple of knocks on Brooks that stick out to me are that he was "gassed" in the 2nd quarter of a big game, and that he seems to only be useful in defending the run.  Good enough athlete, but strictly an inside, stack LB.

Quote:Strengths
  • Well built with NFL size in good definition
  • Consistent solo tackle totals all four years as starter
  • Quick to diagnose and key the run
  • Sees and sifts through moving bodies in front of him
  • Aggressive downhill attacks in 2019 yielded TFL fruit
  • Skilled at sliding under climbing blocks
  • Impressive instincts to shadow runner and anticipate lane choice
  • Has twitch for swift lateral slide and directional change
  • Runs with speed to chase and capture to perimeter
Weaknesses
  • Failed to rise to the occasion against Oklahoma
  • Gassed in late second quarter by Sooners' pace
  • Loses his run fit at times when working around blocks
  • Needs to attack blocks aggressively to constrict run lanes
  • Finds himself blocked at times despite good reads
  • Needs to school up hands as pre-emptive weapons
  • Gets lost in space in zone drops
  • Lacks fluidity when asked to cover
