Malik Hooker ranked #5 rookie after 4 weeks according to NFL.com

[Yoshinator]

Not sure what section to put this under, but since Hooker is a Colt now, I decided to put it under the Colts section. With 4 weeks of the season completed, Malik Hooker is ranked the #5 rookie through the quarter mark on the NFL top 25 list. Here's a link to the top 25 if you are interested in seeing which rookies are performing.

It's way too early into the season, but it's setting up to be a Jamal Adams vs Malik Hooker showdown for the DROTY award.

It’s so nice to see a first round pick not named Luck playing well.  Honestly it’s been since Castonzo that the Colts had a first round pick that’s been worth it except for Luck of course.

So happy this kid dropped to us at 15.

Really happy to see us pick a true stud. He should be awesome to watch for many years.

No training camp and no preseason...that boggles the mind what he's doing.

Instinct is not learned from films and books so he should be someone quarterbacks will not want to see on the field. Bright future.

I'd include Kelly in that. Injury was just an unfortunate setback.

Does anyone have any insight to how well Hooker has or hasn't played in between interceptions? It feels a little like he has been in the right place at the right time on a couple of those interceptions. BUT there is something to be said about being in the right place at the right time.

 

Just curious if someone has been able to watch him a little closer than I have to see if he seems to be playing the position well?

Damn I wish we took Landon Collins having both of them would have been unbelievable!!!! Lol

You are correct somehow I spaced Kelly.

Malik Hooker is truly Ed Reed 2.0

 

 

It's gonna be great watching this kid play and bring some respect back to our secondary

He had a learning day vs SF....cant remember his name being called once. But that was the initial expectation, learn first, then come on strong after getting more safety experience.

He was around the ball (couldn’t keep the TE out of the end zone at the end) but you are right outside of a shoe string tackle on a running back in the fourth he didn’t do much.

Just wanted to mention that his youngest brother Marcus scored 5 TDs for his high school last weekend.  He’s also committed to The OSU.

 

Good genes.
