He has good quickness but needs to work on his footwork, which doesn't seem optimal even for a relatively lanky running back. He possesses very strong acceleration and sufficient speed to attack the third level and even finish plays; he had several \"home run\" plays this season both rushing and receiving. His lateral agility is average; he leans more towards being a \"straight line\" athlete in my opinion. Returning to the issue of power, he falls between two styles, that of a power back and that of a speed back, and he'll need to make a choice because he often makes poor decisions. He frequently opts to build up speed and initiate contact even though his balance upon contact isn't very good; in my view, he falls rather easily. Either he needs to bulk up and establish himself as a true power back, or he needs to seek less contact during his runs and work on his average change of direction skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><br \/><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He has good vision behind his offensive line and does a good job with jump cuts, but his vision can be inconsistent at times because he's too eager to build up speed and initiate contact, a sort of tunnel vision effect that he needs to change in order to allow for additional yardage gains. He is capable of performing well in both gap and zone schemes without much trouble except for outside zone plays where he is more limited. I like his ability to explode through the gap to create big plays, but this will happen much less frequently in the NFL, and once again, he needs to be less drawn to contact. He has the ability to avoid some tackles in the open field with cuts or stiff arms, but he'll need to work on this as well to be more decisive.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He has very good ball security overall and always brings his second arm in for additional protection. Only 1 fumble in 2023.<\/span><\/p><br \/><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brooks contributes well in the passing game. Although he doesn't have an elaborate route tree, he executes certain routes like speed outs or quick routes well. He has good hands, capable of making difficult one-handed catches, and possesses an interesting ball tracking ability. Moreover, he is a significant threat in yards after catch (YAC) situations due to his athleticism and evasion abilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><br \/><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He is capable of absorbing blocks with his shoulder and often relies on chip blocks instead of using more traditional hand placement. Occasionally, he is not fully engaged in pass protection, and he will need to develop his technique further in this aspect. However, there have been a few rare flashes of potential in this area during the season.<\/span><\/p><br \/><p><strong>He doesn't have much experience, but Brooks is young (turning 21 in July) and relatively fresh with only 238 career carries, including 187 in 2023. He can fit into both gap and zone schemes and has the potential to be a three-down back. However, he really needs to work on his pass protection technique and have a more defined role to fully maximize his potential and avoid being caught between two stools.<br \/><\/strong><strong>Be cautious about his right knee ligament tear last November.<br \/><\/strong><strong>I assess Jonathon Brooks as a third-round talent in the draft.<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jonathon Brooks, RB, Texas (R-Sophomore) De retour pour cette \u00e9dition 2024 de la Draft NFL, l&rsquo;\u00e9quipe de The Trick Play vous propose \u00e0 nouveau de vous plonger au c\u0153ur de l&rsquo;\u00e9v\u00e8nement gr\u00e2ce aux scouting reports de Rayane et Valentin.
