Kubiak did well to bring in a fullback to provide the hardnosed lead blocker for his running backs; the eventual meeting between Connor Heyward and Brooks will be one to watch.

Heyward's lead-blocking role will be tested by All-Pro Brooks' run-stopping prowess.

Heyward is positioned as the fullback lead blocker in Kubiak's run-heavy offensive scheme; his eventual meeting with Jordyn Brooks will be one to watch as Brooks' ability to diagnose run plays quickly and blow up downhill blocking schemes presents a significant challenge.
