Double ACL injury scares source; limited role with 25% takeover upside.

Jonathon BrooksCAR

Jonathan Brooks is a complete unknown due to two consecutive ACL injuries and minimal playing time over the last two years. The source, who loved Brooks as a prospect, is very scared by the injury history. Brooks is expected to operate in a split backfield with limited role (8–12 change-of-pace carries), with only a 25% likelihood of a full takeover scenario where he becomes the explosive, primary back. Worst-case scenario is a 50/50 split with Chuba Hubbard, who is the clear starter.

Source transcript excerpt
I I'm very scared with this two consecutive ACL injuries and barely playing the last two years... if they can get change up carries out of him, like 8 to 12, I think that's kind of what they're they have in mind for him. I do think there's an upside case that okay, maybe he is fully healthy... I I would put that likelihood at like maybe 25%.
