For Those Who Think Brooks is too Small to be a 3 Down Back...

I can still remember watching that game - one of my favorite all time.  It was a prime time game wasn't it? 

2008 Bucs at Panthers MNF: https://www.panthers.com/video/nfl-throwback-double-trouble-jonathan-stewart-deangelo-williams-mnf-2008

There can only be one J-Stew. That guy was just built like a truck. Brooks strikes me more of an all-rounder that can do just about anything.

Brooks in highschool.

 

 

 

Different games even then. Back then, big bruising backs were still a thing so some naturally stout kids with speed played RB and tried to become that. 

 

Brooks grew up in a time where RB can be the skinny, shifty guy. 

 

Good news is college packed on muscle. Could keep adding

216 may have been a combine weight, and those are of course always reflective of real-world

His tape definitely looks more like 207.  Someone just compared him to Gurely who actually played in the 220's in college and he looked a lot different than Brooks

216 at the combine but keep making shet up

Texas has him listed as playing at 207. Combine weight doesn't mean crap, with Bryce being Exhibit A.

Even if he is 216 off-season, that is still 19 pounds lighter and unlikely to be maintained in-season. But feel free to keep being wrong and posting moronic nonsense while doing it.

one of the best stiff arms ever. made tiki bounce off the ground. 

man it felt good to be a fan back then. was frustrating, but i would take that over what we've had the past few years.
