The Seattle Seattle selected Jordyn Brooks in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft to complement two of the best linebackers in the league – Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright.
Brooks has been eyeing the two veterans closely to absorb whatever information he can ahead of his rookie season.
“Just watching those guys,” Brooks told reporters during his press conference on Wednesday. “I’m not just blowing smoke when I say they’re first in and last out. From the first day I got here, those guys are the first guys in the building, Bobby and K.J.”
Brooks has already learned a number of valuable lessons from the seasoned linebackers, including the importance of good health.
“Just learning how to be a professional and take care of your body,” Brooks explained. “Our body is our ticket, so we got to take care of that first to be able to perform. So that’s the biggest thing I’ve learned is just being smart with injuries, anything that’s going on, you know, get treatment, get massages in, make sure you’re fully healthy to go out there and perform.”
Brooks will wrap up his final training camp practice of the summer on Thursday before breaking for the long weekend ahead of the start of the regular season.
