From the article

Brooks is the type of talent that can break the game open with a short pass to the house or couple 20+ runs to get the offense moving and keep Chicago off-balance. By all accounts Brooks has had an excellent summer and the Carolina coaches couldn't stop raving about hi... The 6'0" 210lb back out of Texas was universally lauded as the top back in the '24 class, despite suffering a knee injury that ended his collegiate career early and set his pro career back some. If he is finally healthy enough to play like himself, I expect his 4.4 speed, impressive acceleration and underrated receiving ability to be problematic for the opposition all season.

Brooks' elite athleticism and receiving ability could spark Panthers offense if healthy.
