Does anyone else think Ahmad Brooks is a good comp for this guy?

No.

Ahmad Brooks was 2 inches taller, 30 lbs heavier, and won primarily with speed. Ebukam is a lot smaller and despite that is primarily a power rusher and wins through contact and effort. But I could see Ebukam developing into an Ahmad Brooks-type impact player if that's what you mean. Brooks was very young and underdeveloped but showed tons of potential when he got here. 49ers put him in a position to flourish, and he did just that.

Brooks was super underrated. Dude was so good at setting the edge and still racked up quite a few sacks. He was just overshadowed by Aldon.

Man that defense. Smith bros, Ray Mac, Brooks with Bowman and Willis in the middle. Then Whitner and Goldson laying the wood.

I remember how bad I wanted brooks in the supplemental draft, then cinci got him I was pretty bummed, but hey it all worked out.(other than winning a sb)

I thought he looked kinda slow like he was holding back. I read that he had a sack yesterday. Maybe I was confused and looking at the wrong guy.

He had a coverage sack. He looked OK overall.

He looked pretty darn explosive to me

Me too. He's gonna be a nice situational pass rusher and better than what they had on defense in recent years, anyone remember Cassius Marsh or how about Roderick Green. lol

I laughed at seeing a Lemonier out there for the chargers. Those were the days.

The stupid penalty at the end made me remember those days for sure.

He's gotta be related to Corey. That's not the most common last name

His biggest strength will be keeping QB's inside the pocket which has been an issue for the Niners in past years. He will come in handy when facing those mobile QB's that have given the Niners trouble.

I think his strength will be running down QBs that escape the pocket which has been the problem. He got his sack vs LAC in what I think will be his typical way of getting sacks. QB gets pressured, tries to run away, Ebukam chases him down.
