Athletic and experience with Cover 3? sign me up. I knew this pick wouldn't be any of the guys we've been mentioning over and over again lol Mayock don't play that way this late. Just glad he's got good tools. Bradley needs to get some of his guys, time to push Isaiah Johnson.Β

Positives:Β Tough, explosive cornerback with solid ball skills. Quick flipping his hips in transition off the line, displays a burst to the ball out of his plant, and plays heads-up football. Aggressive, mixes it up with receivers, and chases the action hard. Quickly recognizes assignments and stays on the receiver’s hip out of breaks. Throws his body around the field to make the tackle.

Negatives:Β Gets turned on occasion. Struggles in battles despite his size.

Analysis:Β After a terrific junior campaign, Hobbs was slightly disappointing last season, which likely knocked him out of consideration as a late-round pick. He possesses the size and ball skills to be used in man or zone coverage and the ability to line up in dime packages on Sundays.
