From the episode

I think really when it comes down to whether or not you like Jonathan Brooks is like what your take on him coming out of Texas was. I'm definitely in the camp that he takes over that backfield by some portion of the year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Brooks is a high-upside back expected to take over the backfield

Jonathan Brooks is a top-tier running back prospect with a skill set similar to Aaron Jones; he is expected to take over the Carolina backfield as the season progresses, especially if he regains his pre-ACL explosiveness.
