Though his Seattle Seahawks were defeated, Texas Tech football alum Jordyn Brooks had a solid game in his first NFL Playoff experience to put a bow on an encouraging rookie season.

When the Seattle Seahawks drafted linebacker Jordyn Brooks with the No. 27 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, many experts and fans were skeptical about that selection. But after a solid showing in Seattle’s 30-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday, Brooks now appears to be entrenched as a key component of Seattle’s future on defense.
