Brooks Reed, Houston Texans, 42nd Pick, 2nd Round, 2011 NFL Draft


Reed, Brooks Arizona 6024 263 4.68
Three-year starter. Explosive first step quickness. Plays fast
and hard. Flies around the field. In a three end rotation. Good
lateral quickness to close down the off tackle seam. Projects to
a 3-4 outside edge rusher. Must develop counter moves. He
consistently gets pushed up the field past the quarterback. Great
desire to run back down. Caught Kendall Hunter 35 yards down
the field. Plays square with his toes to the goal and shuffles his
feet down the line of scrimmage. Will stand up and blitz the
same side as Ricky Elmore. Intense, competitive, and athletic
in his play. Has a quick spin move that frees him up at times.
Can leverage a tackle and run him back to the quarterback. Will
need work on his pass drops and pass coverage skills. For complete report see Ourlads Guide to the NFL Draft.
