Running back Jonathon Brooks stayed in his home state to play college ball and he may not be leaving Texas to begin his NFL career, either.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday that Brooks is expected to be a second-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft and that "some think it would be a surprise" if the Dallas Cowboys passed on him at No. 56.
Brooks ran for 1,139 yards and 10 touchdowns and caught 25 passes for 286 yards and one score as a junior at Texas. His season was cut short due to a torn ACL, an injury that has also adversely impact his draft stock.
