Originally drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the 7th round of this year’s NFL Draft, the 6’0″, 200 pound running back had 6 rushes for 17 total rushing yards in 2 preseason games before being waived August 30th as part of his ex-team’s initial 75-man roster cuts.

The former Clemson Tigers standout had 116 career carries for 607 total rushing yards (5.2 ypc avg) and 5 rushing touchdowns during his collegiate career.

Here’s what his NFL.com Draft profile depicted regarding Brooks:

WEAKNESSES

Lacks production worthy of a draft pick. Strictly projection-based player who had just 809 yards of total offense and 115 carries during time at Clemson. Played in run-friendly scheme at Clemson. Doesn’t do enough to create yardage for himself.
BOTTOM LINE

Has the measurables and physical upside worthy of being drafted, but lacks the production and ability of an NFL running back. Might have to make his mark with a conversion to receiver or pass-catching running back.

“During pro day, Brooks spent time meeting with representatives from the Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans and Seattle Seahawks. He already had a visit to Seattle scheduled for April, and now that he has had an opportunity to work out in front of NFL scouts, there could be more to come.”
