Brooks' 17-pound weight loss signals potential shift to RB role, improving roster odds vs. tight end competition.

Brooks lost 17 pounds this offseason, a significant physical transformation that raises the possibility he is positioning himself to compete for the third running back job rather than staying locked into a traditional fullback role. This weight loss is strategically savvy given Nick Caley's background as a tight end coach on a team with multiple tight end options; Caley is more likely to keep a fourth or fifth tight end over a blocking-specific fullback, but Brooks' odds improve if he can beat out Jawhar Jordan for a running back spot.
