Brooks' health recovery and Carolina's thin RB room make him a high-upside late-round breakout candidate.
Brooks is a wild card with significant upside if fully healthy entering 2026 after recovering from second torn ACL. Carolina has limited other RB options (only Trevor Etienne and A.J. Dillon on roster) after Chuba Hubbard departed, heavily betting on Brooks' return. In 2024 (final college season), Brooks ranked 21st in yards after contact per attempt, ninth in elusive rating, and 21st in yards per route run per PFF. Derek Brown plans to draft Brooks heavily, viewing him as capable of stealing the starting job similar to last year's breakout performance.
