Top-tier upside at 10th–12th round price despite back-to-back ACL tears

Jonathon BrooksCAR

Texas second-round draft pick with back-to-back ACL tears facing an uphill career battle, but the source loves his draft price at the 10th–12th round range. Brooks was explosive with elite intangibles—vision, balance, and contact balance similar to Aaron Jones—though breakaway speed was never his distinguishing trait. The source notes Brooks trained with elite knee injury rehabilitation specialist Reef, who successfully rehabbed Stefon Diggs, John Quentin Judkins, and CeeDee Lamb. Despite the injury history, Brooks was the top running back in his college class and the source believes his price offers exceptional upside for the range, making him a strong value pick if you're buying at that cost. Brooks received a direct message from the player himself after a tweet about his injury situation, with Brooks essentially saying 'Don't count me out. You don't know me,' suggesting genuine conviction about his recovery.

Source transcript excerpt
Jonathan Brooks has had one of the worst, you know, runouts for a player. Back-to-back ACL tears here... I still love his price at like the 10th, 11th, 12th round only competing with Chuba Hubard... I like his potential... the price is beautiful. Uh the talent has been there... he was the top running back in that class... if you're buying a guy that's at this range, I don't think you're going to find much of a higher upside guy, right?
