I didn’t feel that safety was a top position of need for the Indianapolis Colts. Yes, they certainly had a need at the safety position, but with Clayton Geathers, T.J. Green and Darius Butler on the depth chart, the Colts clearly had other areas that they could have addressed first. That said, the Colts picked a very talented player who will immediately improve the Colts secondary and be a playmaker that can rally a defense much like Bob Sanders did years ago.
Hooker reeks of athleticism. He was recruited by many schools to play Division 1 basketball, but instead chose to go to Ohio State on a football scholarship.
