Positive news for Jonathon Brooks according to Ian Rapoport.

Recovery from the ACL injury is going according to plan and the former Texas running back should be cleared by training camp.

 

Still the top RB from a number of notable NFL Draft experts:

- Matt Miller

- Daniel Jeremiah

- Bucky Brooks

 

Plenty of others as well. Credit to J-Brooks!

Crazy thinking he could possibly be the first back taking after an ACL tear or it maybe speaks of the bad class of backs in this years draft.

or maybe his tear wasn't as bad as other tears...or...as an elite athlete he recovers better than non-elite athletes!

I've been a Brooks fan from the day he flashed as a backup. Could tell he could be a great RB. But it still blows my mind - in a good way - that he might be the 1st RB taken even after the ACL injury.

I am hoping the 2nd round projections happen, but they just don’t make sense to me. 

Great news.  It wasn't that long ago that his injury was a deal-breaker.

(actually, it was 30 years ago, but doesn't seem that long in my old head)
