Scouting Report

Brooks was a guy who really lit up the East-West Shrine Week, but was not invited to the 2012 Scouting Combine. He looks like he could be the highest player drafted from the non-invite list this year. He displayed excellent power, athletic ability, and versatility this offseason and is going to force a lot of coaches and GMs to go back and watch a bunch more film on him. He is absolutely massive and looks like he could play inside as a guard or right tackle in the NFL, but this kind of athletic ability suggests he would be a great fit anywhere on the line. I think eventually he winds up as a guard at his size, but these numbers he turned in at his Pro Day are really encouraging and should excite fans of any team needing a guard. This could propel him into the 2nd round discussion.
