Opinions may vary in terms of what NFL player first comes to mind when one thinks about a “tackling machine,” but one thing is for certain: Jordyn Brooks has always met the criteria. Years before he would lead the entire league in tackles made, Seattle’s then-rookie put his play recognition and instincts on exhibit, turboing into the backfield to leave Arizona’s elusive quarterback a few steps shy of a touchdown. Brooks’ goal-line stonewalling of the Cardinals became one of the many highlights in the Seahawks’ 37-34 overtime loss on Oct. 25, 2020; in the battle of NFC elites, he tallied seven tackles (three solo) and a touchdown-saving TFL.
