The second backer

Inside linebacker Jordyn Brooks is one we’ve mocked multiple times to the LA Rams. Hailing from the Texas Tech Red Raiders, he’s appearing on multiple teams’ radar as a potential 2020 starting inside linebacker. This 6-foot-0 240-pound backer has plenty of admirers among NFL scouts and executives. He is a throwback thumper behind the defensive line. He stands out in films against running plays, where he moves to stop the ball carrier with authority.

Hot. LA Rams can look to LB Kenny Young as 2020 starter. light

Of course, the Rams would love to get much better at run defense, and Brooks appears very much like someone who could get them there. He’s gotten solid reviews from virtually all draft scouting profiles.

Of course, Brooks is projected to be a day two selection. And he is very similar to both of the LA Rams inside linebackers Kenny Young and Micah Kiser. With similar builds and play styles, the Rams have interchangeable parts and can keep fresh linebackers on the field at all times.

His NFL.com profile indicates the projection for Brooks to compete for a starting role in 2020. That could be a solid reason for the Rams to call his name on day two.
