He's coming off two right ACL tears and has 9 NFL carries to his name over a two-year career. Brooks simply might not have the juice he displayed in college in 2023 as a 20-year-old junior before suffering his first major knee injury (1,425 yards, 11 TDs in 11 games). That player might be gone.

Brooks faces ACL durability concerns, Hubbard competition, and Panthers' weak offense.

Freedman identifies Brooks as an easy fade despite cheap upside appeal, citing three major concerns: two right ACL tears and only 9 NFL carries over two years raise questions about whether his college production (1,425 yards, 11 TDs in 11 games as a 20-year-old junior in 2023) will translate post-injury; competition from No. 1 RB Chuba Hubbard, who has three-down skill set (622 carries, 137 targets over past three years) and back-to-back 1,300-yard seasons in 2023-24; and Panthers' weak offensive environment (projected bottom-3 at 20.7 points), as analytics show it's rare for difference-making RBs to emerge from bad teams. QB Bryce Young ranked No. 31 in passing efficiency (6.2 AY/A) in 2025.
