16 January 2020 DRAFT
Jordyn Brooks 2020 NFL Draft Profile
Measureables: 6’1″ 240 LBs
One of the most productive linebackers over the past 4 years and someone who really pops off of the screen during games. Jordyn Brooks has been a stabilizing force in the Red Raiders defense and has established himself as a top LB in the draft. He is all over the place on the field and always around the ball. He is built extremely solid and plays fast but plays big as well. Definitely is a team leader and field general. His numbers speak for himself and so does his film.
