Brooks, on the other hand, is more of a bowling ball than a bishop on the field, but, paradoxically, also offers a bit more flexibility to the coordinator considering his role as a fullback...That special teams experience might be his ticket to making the roster over Jordan and Whittington, but I think the Texans coaching staff will end up keeping who they deem to be the best overall running back between these three players...I'd pick Brooks over Jordan.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Brooks' fullback versatility and special teams value edge him over Jordan for RB3.

Brooks is more of a bowling ball than a bishop on the field but offers more flexibility to the coordinator as a fullback; he's more of a beefed-up running back than an old-school fullback but can deliver mighty blocks and ball out on special teams where Jordan and Whittington cannot. His special teams experience might be his ticket to making the roster over Jordan and Whittington. Against the Colts first-team defense, Brooks posted 13 carries, 63 yards, 4.8 YPC, +17 RYOE, and 4.5 YACo/ATT. The source lists him on the projected depth chart and notes that if only three tailbacks are kept, Brooks would be picked over Jordan.
