Quote:Thanks for the clips.

 

I think both Adams and Hooker are good players who can benefit the Jaguars.

 

One thing I like about Adams are his instincts.  I would imagine being the son of a former NFL player helps.  In the clips he seems to read the routes/combinations well and put himself in the right place.  He also provides good thump in the run game.

 

But one thing that sticks out to me about Hooker is his propensity to make the really big play.  When he gets his hands on the ball, a LONG return typically follows.  In that montage provided by 02, Adams seems to slip a lot.  Now perhaps that is just coincidence, or the result of some particularly sloppy turf in one instance.  But Hooker seems to take INTs the distance a lot.

 

For some reason being the son of a great player seems to rarely help, from what I can tell. Brian Griese, Bobby Carpenter, Casey Matthews, Kelvin Taylor, Kellen Winslow Jr., I must be missing some too. Take all family connections with a grain of salt.

 

Interception returns are what Malik Hooker does best. He led the team in interceptions. One of them was at the Fiesta Bowl -  that's right, against Deshaun Watson. If he was a three-year starter, I would want him at #4.
