It’s unlikely 6th round safety Antoine Brooks makes much of an impact on defense his rookie year but there’s a ripe opportunity for him to do some damage on special teams. And he has a skillset to thrive there. Speaking with Steelers.com’s Teresa Varley, Brooks explained a mindset that fits in with the Steelers’ culture.
“I love playing, and I love being physical,” Brooks told Varley. “A lot of people are afraid of being physical. It’s leaving the game some. I want to bring it back.”
That echoes what the organization said about him during the draft.
