I'm a nerd who does mock drafts on PFF for the Cleveland Browns, and I've noticed that Mr. Brooks here is projected as a 2nd round pick.

Was he really that good? I feel like a MAC player who is rated that highly would have been a bigger story during the season, but I don't remember hearing anything about him.

He plays an non-glorified position so not really surprising that he hasn't gotten a lot of hype from the casual fan's POV.
