02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Brooks fits best in a modern 4-3 Cover-3 match scheme that emphasizes downhill playmaking and sideline-to-sideline pursuit from its linebackers.

WILLMIKE (off-ball)Inside Linebacker
Best role

He can contribute immediately as a sub-package WILL linebacker, growing into a three-down foundational piece who rarely leaves the field.

Wrong fit

A traditional two-gap 3-4 system would significantly diminish his impact, as his value is in his speed and playmaking, not shedding blocks at the point of attack.

Brooks' combination of speed, athleticism, and developing coverage skills makes him a versatile second-level defender in a fast-flowing defense.
