With the 56th overall pick, the Dallas Cowboys select Jonathon Brooks, RB, Texas!
Mr. Texas Football stays in the lone star state and aims to replace Tony Pollard. After compiling 3,530 rushing yards and 70 total touchdowns his senior year in high school, he earned a scholarship with the University of Texas. Brooks initially sat behind Bijan and finally had his shot last year and showed that he was not a fluke, earning comparisons to Jamaal Charles.
Unfortunately an ACL tear in November causes some concern but it should be noted that the Cowboys team doctor performed the surgery on Jonathon. If anyone has inside info on his injury, it’s Dallas.
Hopefully Zeke re-signs on the cheap and allows Brooks a chance to slowly but surely become a dangerous weapon in time for a late season run into the playoffs.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers @H2o are on the clock!
