Two ACLs in three years, nine career carries, pick 102 is "crazy" ahead of Hubbard.
JJ Zachariason expresses significant concern about Jonathan Brooks's draft positioning, citing two torn ACLs over the past three seasons and only nine combined carries at the NFL level. In 2024, Brooks had minimal production: two carries in week 12, six carries in week 13, one carry in week 14 for negative-3 rushing yards before tearing his ACL again. Zachariason questions whether Brooks is the same athlete after two ACL tears and notes that while camp reports are positive and the Eagles lost Rico Dattle without replacing him (a potential positive signal), Brooks is currently going at pick 102 in drafts—ahead of Chuba Hubbard, Kyle Pitts, Michael Pitman, and Rashad White—which Zachariason calls "crazy." Brooks tore his ACL immediately upon return last season, eliminating the committee concern that had previously threatened Chuba Hubbard's role; injury history makes him a risky ranking ahead of Hubbard despite pre-injury ceiling.
