September 27, 20232 yr JC was a burner and a slasher. Brooks is a physical back who has some speed. He is not a poor man's JC, he is a rich man's Keontay Ingram.
September 27, 20232 yr Ok so we have comps to Rochon, Ced, Arian Foster, and JC. Lets go ahead and throw in Earl and Barry Sanders while we're at it.

JC was plenty physical at the collegiate level. I’d argue he was a better choice for goal line runs than Henry Melton by a country mile. Edited September 28, 20232 yr by lilMAC25
September 28, 20232 yr I like watching him in the video of the 1st post.. You can see his improvement as he gets more and more comfortable with the position.

September 28, 20232 yr I still remember when aggy was happy they won out on the LJ Johnson recruitment. I said back then that Brooks would have a better college career, because Johnson didn't appear to like playing football. aggy is now peak late tenure Mack Brown, chasing star rankings with little to no development.

Kind of like the opposite of the Ced Benson/Derek Farmer debate. Many aggys would have bet their life Farmer was going to better than Ced Benson and that Benson was overrated. Oh look how the tables turned. Brooks is going to hit 1k yards this year and Johnson might transfer (if he hasn't already).

September 28, 20232 yr JBrooks kinda reminds me of Blake Gideon if Gideon was black, athletic, had good ball control, and played running back
September 28, 20232 yr JBrooks kinda reminds me of Blake Gideon if Gideon was black, athletic, had good ball control, and played running back Dylan Haines imo.
September 28, 20232 yr Thought CB4 was going to take over when he started the Rice game this year, but I've been pleasantly surprised to see Brooks kick ass this year.

September 28, 20232 yr He reminds me of Adrian Peterson. . . . because he was beating those kids with a switch.
September 28, 20232 yr I was going to say O.J. Simpson, because he's looked a bit stabby on some of his runs.

September 28, 20232 yr Great back. Glad he’s on our team. To me he favors Shon Mitchell /Jamal Charles. Roshon always reminded me more of Chris O. Shon wasn’t here all that long but I see a lot of him in J Brooks.
September 29, 20232 yr Kinda like whoever comes in right after Saban finally hangs up the headset, Brooks had the tall task of not only taking over feature back from one of top 5 Longhorn RB's of all time, but fending off a highly touted 5* Freshman. I think he's getting in the groove and making a name for himself this year. Yes, JB can have that wallet.

September 29, 20232 yr Reminds me of a faster Selvin YoungOr should you say freshman/sophomore pre-injury, pre-weight gain Selvin…
September 29, 20232 yr Ok, that didn't work. It was JB's 70 yard td in the 4th quarter of last year's game.
