Five Things: Jordyn Brooks

The counting stats, advanced metrics, the film – no matter which avenue studied on Jordyn Brooks, the roads all lead to the same destination: productivity.

Not even an ACL injury suffered on the first day of 2023 could keep him off the field when the new season kicked off just nine months later. He’s missed just four games over a four-year career with an average of 111 tackles per season. In his first season as a full-time starter, Brooks racked up 184 tackles with 10 coming behind the line of scrimmage.

Pro Football Focus created a stat that measures tackles that equate to a defensive win on a given play called stops. Brooks’ ranks the last three seasons in that category: 10^th, 5^th and 24^th in the NFL.
