Ok so we have comps to Rochon, Ced, Arian Foster, and JC. Lets go ahead and throw in Earl and Barry Sanders while we're at it. 

Yeah we're all over the place. I see Darren Sproles mixed with a little Jerome Bettis.

JC was a burner and a slasher. Brooks is a physical back who has some speed. He is not a poor man's JC, he is a rich man's Keontay Ingram.

JC was plenty physical at the collegiate level. I’d argue he was a better choice for goal line runs than Henry Melton by a country mile.

I still remember when aggy was happy they won out on the LJ Johnson recruitment. I said back then that Brooks would have a better college career, because Johnson didn't appear to like playing football. aggy is now peak late tenure Mack Brown, chasing star rankings with little to no development.

There's not enough comparisons on this thread so I'm going to say he reminds me a lot of Joe Bergeron.

Kind of like the opposite of the Ced Benson/Derek Farmer debate.  Many aggys would have bet their life Farmer was going to better than Ced Benson and that Benson was overrated.  Oh look how the tables turned.  Brooks is going to hit 1k yards this year and Johnson might transfer (if he hasn't already).

Ask AJ Hawk if JC was physical

The only difference is that Jimbo had his good years at another school.

That was freshman JC vs All American upperclassman AJ Hawk.  I was at that game, you could hear the hit!

JBrooks kinda reminds me of Blake Gideon if Gideon was black, athletic, had good ball control, and played running back 

You’re an idiot. Gideon was listed four pounds heavier than Brooks coming out of HS

It’s a good thing we didn’t have Bad Motherfucker awards that year.  I would have had to mortgage my house to keep up.

even watching it now knowing what's coming, i still can't believe that #28 didn't push him out of bounds.

Great back. Glad he’s on our team. 
 

To me he favors Shon Mitchell /Jamal Charles.  Roshon always reminded me more of Chris O.  Shon wasn’t here all that long but I see a lot of him in J Brooks.

Kinda like whoever comes in right after Saban finally hangs up the headset, Brooks had the tall task of not only taking over feature back from one of top 5 Longhorn RB's of all time, but fending off a highly touted 5* Freshman. I think he's getting in the groove and making a name for himself this year. Yes, JB can have that wallet.
