02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Brooks fits best in a run-heavy, gap/duo power run blocking scheme that emphasizes physical interior play and downhill rushing attacks.

Right GuardLeft GuardPower Run Blocker
Best role

Year 1 starter at guard, with a ceiling to be a Pro Bowl interior lineman who anchors a physical rushing attack.

Wrong fit

An Air Raid or spread RPO offense that relies heavily on quick pass sets and zone blocking principles.

Brooks' powerful frame and excellent drive blocking make him a valuable asset for any team committed to a dominant ground game.

04The evaluation

Selected #76 overall in Round 3 of the 2012 NFL Draft by Houston Texans out of Miami (OH).
