Clemson running back Zac Brooks was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the seventh round of the 2016 NFL Draft on Saturday.

Brooks became the ninth former Tiger to be drafted the last three days, joining defensive end Shaq Lawson went who  No. 19 overall to Buffalo on Thursday night in the first round. In the second round three former Tigers were taken off the board, including defensive end Kevin Dodd at No. 33 by Tennessee, cornerback Mackensie Alexander at No. 52 by the Minnesota Vikings and safety T.J. Green at No. 57 by the Indianapolis Colts.

Earlier on Saturday, former linebacker B.J. Goodson was chosen No. 109 in the fourth round by the New York Giants, while defensive tackle D.J. Reader went No. 166 by the Houston Texans in the fifth round.

Wide receiver Charone Peake went just ahead of Jayron Kearse when the Jets selected him at pick No. 241. Kearse was selected at pick 244 by the Minnesota Vikings and then Brooks, who came right after at 247.

Clemson’s nine draft picks thanks to the late run of selections of Peake, Kearse and Brooks, is the 2nd most picks in Clemson history, and the most since the record run of 10 in 1983.

Though some might be surprised with Brooks being drafted, those that matter were not. Scouts game away from Clemson’s Pro Day in March impressed with Brooks’ athleticism. He ran a 4.4 in the 40-yard dash, and also recorded a 4.38 time in the 20-yard shuttle and ran a 7.11 in the three-cone drill.

Brooks, who weighed in at 199 pounds and stands at 5-foot-11, had a 36-inch vertical and scored a 10-foot, 9-inch jump in the board jump. He also had 18 reps in the bench press.

Brooks was penciled in as the Tigers’ starter in 2014, when a broken foot in the last week of fall camp caused him to miss the entire season. He returned in 2015, but was the backup to Wayne Gallman, who rushed for a school-record 1,527 yards and 13 touchdowns.

But Brooks had his moments in helping Clemson get to the National Championship Game. He rushed for 234 yards on 41 carries, averaging 5.7 yards per carry. He had three rushing touchdowns and caught two more. He finished the season with nine receptions for 113 yards – 12.6 yards per catch.

Brooks’ best game as a running back came against Wofford, when had seven carries for a season-high 52 yards, including a 25-yard touchdown run. He had a 21-yard touchdown reception in Clemson’s win over Boston College, and a 31-yard scoring reception on a nice catch-and-run at NC State.
