Brooks is still battling for a weekly offensive role, but his 2025 return work gives him a practical path to the roster. The catches were scarce but not empty, and he showed willingness to contribute wherever needed. Cleaning up the ball security is essential in a receiver room with little margin for error.
Strengths: Good size, special-teams experience and credible kick-return production. His limited 2025 catches came at 17 yards apiece, suggesting he can provide a vertical or intermediate complement.
Weaknesses: He has little established NFL receiving production and lost a fumble on only three 2025 catches. He must offer more consistent offensive value to avoid being limited to depth and returns.
