Brooks is a 24-year-old 6'3", 195 lbs undrafted receiver who was a Cinderella story in 2025 preseason, leading the Commanders in receptions through three games and earning a practice squad spot; he was elevated for Week 6 against Chicago but received no targets in 6 snaps and suffered a season-ending injury in November. He went undrafted despite a stellar Louisville senior season because he lacks the speed and crisp route running to separate consistently, leading to high contested targets, though he excels at hauling them in. On a team with 4 WR roster locks and notably short of big receivers, Brooks has a chance to stick as the last depth chart guy if he shows promise in preseason; worst-case is another practice squad season or late-season injury replacement role. UPDATE: Brooks was cut before training camp even began in 2026 and was not signed by any other team, suggesting unknown concerns despite his preseason promise.

24-year-old undrafted free agent receiver (6'3", 195 lbs) signed by the Commanders in 2025; had a strong preseason, led the team in receptions through three games, and earned a practice squad spot. Elevated for Week 6 against Chicago but received no targets on 6 snaps; suffered a season-ending injury in November but was reportedly healthy when signing his 2026 contract. Lacks elite speed and crisp route running to separate consistently, leading to high contested-target rates, but excels at contested-catch ability. On a team with four WR roster locks and a notable shortage of big receivers, Brooks has a chance to stick as the last depth-chart receiver if he shows preseason promise again; worst-case is another practice squad season or late-season injury replacement role. However, the source notes Brooks was cut before 2026 training camp began and was not signed by any other team, suggesting unknown concerns.
