But Brooks has already stood out in the first two days of camp with three touchdowns working with the starters and second group.
Brooks is not trying to prove he deserves one of the top spots on the depth chart; his sole focus is showing that he belongs. Brooks would rather focus on where he needs to improve. He spent the summer working on his routes and creating separation. That dedication has carried over into camp, which is what he was doing with Mariota and Johnson after Thursday's practice. Brooks has had a strong start to camp, although he still has plenty to prove. Most of the Commanders' receiver room is set aside from one or two spots. There are several players looking to claim those spots, including seasoned veterans like Chris Moore and Michael Gallup. Others, like KJ Osborn, already have a year's worth of experience in Washington's system, which would seemingly give them an advantage in the position battle. But Brooks has moved into that conversation, at least for now, because he has been so productive in the first week. He'll need to keep showing that throughout August, when the Commanders begin their preseason schedule with joint practices against the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens also in the coming weeks.
