Jonathon Brooks, a rookie running back for the Carolina Panthers, was having a standout season with the Texas Longhorns when he suffered a significant injury by tearing his right ACL during a game against the TCU Horned Frogs last November. This injury ended his final college season prematurely after a successful performance of 1,139 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. Despite concerns about his draft prospects due to this setback, the Panthers selected Brooks as the first running back on Day 2 of the recent draft. The team was impressed by his potential and traded two fifth-round picks to secure him at the 46th overall pick. Brooks, who is currently recovering from surgery, is progressing well and is expected to be ready for training camp by July.
Despite the setback, the Panthers were impressed by his potential and selected him as the first running back in the draft. Brooks is currently recovering well from surgery and is expected to participate in training camp.

In a rotation, he must, at the very least, outperform at least two of those combatants in particular packages in order to prove his worth. “I think we currently have a really good running back room,” Morgan remarked. “Dave and I promised to foster competitiveness in each position group when we began this job.
