Malik Hooker out for the season with a torn ACL and MCL

That really sucks, he was a scary presence there. His instincts were unreal, could eyeball a route and know where the ball was going. 

Hope he comes back at full strength, he's a big part of this division's future.

People forget how good young Ed Reed was against the run. Hooker is not there right now and probably will never be in the run game. His instincts and range are absolutely of that caliber, but he is not nearly the run defender that Reed was.

And Reed was a tremendous blitzer. Knew how to time the snap and get to the QB for a sack or hurry. Hooker has his coverage range but everything else he will need to develop and get better at.

That's real rough. Liked him a lot coming into the draft and was real disappointed when he ended up with the Colts. On a related note:

So that's not great.

It's fairly common for people to tear their ACL and be able to walk on it immediately afterwards. If they didn't know it was an ACL/MCL tear at the moment and instead thought it was a sprain, this really isn't an issue.

Hooker hopefully should be healthy for next year.

Hooker is a young stud amongst his peers that gets to his spot fast and has soft hands, as far as ball handling goes. Some may think his tendency to shy away from giving punishment or wrapping up his man is a weakness, but I think those are things that he’ll develop after more time in the game. And as we’ve seen in his college days, Hooker is familiar with getting to the end zone.

What do you mean phrasing
