For Those Who Think Brooks is too Small to be a 3 Down Back...

...is a bit bigger than one the best/most powerful RB's in carolina history, Jstew

I’m not one of those people that think Brooks is too small, but in fairness to our boy Stew, the man hasn’t taken a snap in over 6 years. Brooks is taller but Stewart was/is built like a tank 

[frankw]

Stewart had ridiculous lower body strength. That was key to his game.

If Brooks builds up on that which i assume he will there is nothing to be concerned about.

Wow, Jstew looks like he's lost about 30 lbs. Good for him, dude is looking healthy

You misspelled taller 

JStew was built like a tank.  That lower body was nuts.  Stew was insane physically.  

[Jackie Lee]

Yeah no doubt he is taller but some photo angles/videos he looks a little thin in the legs proportionally to most rb's is all I was thinking. Or maybe high wasted/long legged I dunno the correct term

Didn't he play at like 240?

[Bear Hands]

I'm very excited about these two.

Stewart played at 235, Brooks is 207

...

What is this ridiculous thread?

1st two search results said Brooks was 216. Just sayin’.

He's a rookie. He'll be light this season and adjust his diet and training next off-season. Typical RB progression for smaller backs that aren't utilized similar to CMC types. Which Brooks won't be.

I expect him at around 225 before season starts, depending how they're treating him. Which is only 10 lbs lighter than Stew in his rookie season.

[lightsout]

Key is, Brooks runs big. Once he develops the power to be effective in that run style, watch out.

Texas listed him as playing at 207.

216 may have been a combine weight, and those are of course always reflective of real-world
