02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Brooks' physical profile and skill set are an ideal fit for an attacking one-gap 4-3 penetrating front, where he can leverage his explosive first step and disruptive play style.
3-tech DT1-tech NT
Best role
Year 1 as a rotational interior pass rusher with long-term potential to be a disruptive Pro Bowl three-technique.
Wrong fit
A two-gap 3-4 scheme that requires him to consistently hold his ground and occupy blockers instead of penetrating.
Curtis Brooks' athletic traits and playmaking ability make him a valuable asset in schemes prioritizing interior pressure and quick disruption.
