By the numbers; 4 sacks and 31 combined tackles in 12 games. (Suh, who many consider the god-child at DT, finished with 8 sacks and 35 combined tackles in 16 games)
But this post isn't about the numbers. Because numbers don't tell the complete story when it comes to Defensive Tackles...
Brockers was a force in the middle and problematic for opposing running games. And... he showed this as a rookie at one of the most difficult positions to transition to the NFL.

“He went back in the game after he came out with the ankle,” Fisher said.
Brockers said his injury wasn’t the same as the one he suffered in the preseason finale and cost him time at the beginning of the season but acknowledged that it happened on a similar play. He returned to the game and finished it.
“Not the high ankle, it was the other ankle. One of the offensive linemen cut me at the wrong angle but it was the middle of the play,” Brockers said. “I was fine, I was able to come back and show my team I can play through injury. I felt like I needed to be out there for my team.”
