A closer look at the 46th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
After a dizzying series of moves, Carolina finally made their first pick of the second round at #46 overall. Panthers’ legend Mushin Muhammad stepped onto the stage and announced the selection. Brooks entered the draft as a true junior and a one year starter at the University of Texas. He ran for 1,139 yards and 10 touchdowns before tearing his ACL in November.
Brooks’ defining traits are his footwork, elusiveness, and vision. His lower half moves as fluid as any runner in the class and his tape is littered with unblocked defenders in his wake. His acceleration will rival Legette for the team lead, and he’ll bring a dynamic that the Carolina backfield hasn’t seen since Christian McCaffrey toted the rock.
Brooks thrived in Steve Sarkisian’s zone running system, and he has the potential to feast behind Carolina’s revamped offensive line. Both guards Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis are people moves that were hand-crafted to create holes for a patient and explosive running back like Brooks.
