Jordyn Brooks

Seattle Seahawks first-round pick LB Jordyn Brooks will make his first NFL start this Sunday against Dallas.

Fantasy Impact

With LB Bruce Irvin being placed on season-ending IR, Brooks will become the first rookie to start a game for the Seahawks since 2016. Brooks is a fantastic athlete who racked up a ton of tackles while at Texas Tech and looks to give this Seattle D/ST a boost moving forward.

First-round draft choice out of Texas Tech LB Jordyn Brooks has agreed to terms on his four-year, $12.35M rookie deal with the Seattle Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact

Brooks also gets a $6.458M signing bonus included in his contract. He totaled 362 tackles and seven sacks as a four-year starter at Texas Tech. Many around the league considered Brooks a reach, but he’ll look to prove the doubters wrong on what should be a very good Seahawks defense, especially with the recent addition of All-Pro S Jamal Adams.

The Seattle Seahawks have selected linebacker Jordyn Brooks with the No. 27 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Brooks is a surprise pick for the Seahawks near the back end of the first round, especially with fellow linebacker Patrick Queen still on the board. He is a big, physical, and athletic linebacker who can attack downhill but also cover in space and should immediately contribute in Seattle.
