I understand that the Panthers likely want to be very conservative with his recovery, but it is concerning that Brooks isn't doing full speed cuts after a year.  There is no rhyme or reason why some players get hurt all the time while others don't.  Also, some guys come back from injury with zero side effects and others are never the same.  I'm pulling for him, but this doesn't seem like a Thomas Davis kind of ending.  

No and Davis was an outlier. Most players don't recover from two ACL injuries.

For it to happen before his career even gets off the ground is even worse.

I do feel bad for the kid, it's a terrible thing to have a potentially promising career go this way.

I feel for the guy too, but if he never sees the field again, he's fully guaranteed $6.24M. Even if he only clears half of that, he never has to work again (if he's smart).
