Brooks went undrafted out of BYU in 2023.
The touchdown came on Brooks’ 33rd touch of the 2024 season. He came into Monday night with 22 rushes for 101 yards and 10 catches for 67 yards while providing excellent pass protection from the backfield.
The Packers signed Brooks to the 53-man roster in September. He’s playing in his 13th game for Green Bay this season after appearing in nine games for the Dolphins as an undrafted rookie in 2023.
While Josh Jacobs has scored 13 rushing touchdowns this season, Brooks just became the sixth Packers player to score a rushing touchdown in 2024, joining Jacobs, Emanuel Wilson, Jayden Reed, Malik Willis and Jordan Love. The Packers now have 18 rushing touchdowns this season.
