From the article

Brooks is able to get a big chunk play. You can see once he gets into space, though, he just doesn't have any juice. Winfield is not particularly fleet of foot as a safety, but there's really no threat that he's going to lose the angle. Brooks is a lot of things, but he's not a value-add as a ball carrier.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Brooks lacks burst and dynamic playmaking despite clean blocking.

Brooks lacks explosiveness and value-add as a ball carrier. On his big carry against Tampa, the offensive line created a clean alley and Brooks reached space, but once there he showed no burst or acceleration. The source notes that even against a non-fleet-of-foot safety like Winfield, there was no real threat Brooks would lose the angle, indicating a lack of dynamic playmaking ability.
