Mike Tomlin Excited About Antoine Brooks’ ‘Very Useful’ 220-Pound Body

These days, there doesn’t appear to be a lot of 220-pound safeties coming out of college, and the ones who do tip the scales that far tend to be comfortably north of the six-foot mark. Not so for Antoine Brooks, Jr., the newest safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers, coming to the team via the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Despite being just 5’11”, Brooks is a big boy at that weight, even if the team’s website alternately lists him at different weights—at 210 on the roster, and 215 in the article published after he was picked.
