Evaluating The Value: S Antoine Brooks Jr.
The back end of the draft is a good place to fill holes and the Pittsburgh Steelers go back to Maryland to one at the safety position. They’re starters are set Minkah Fitzpatrick and Terrell Edmunds but behind them they have players like Jordan Dangerfield and Marcus Allen who are both better near the line of scrimmage. What they need from a safety is someone who can play in the deep portion of the field.
Brooks measured in at 5’10 and 220 pounds at the Combine with 4.64 speed. He had 237 tackles, 27.5 for a loss, 3.5 sacks and 4 interceptions. In 2019 he had career highs with 87 tackles and 5 passed defensed.
