Malik Hooker, S, Indianapolis Colts
Hooker continued to battle injuries in his sophomore season after his rookie season was cut short by a torn ACL, but he still started 14 regular-season games for the Colts in 2018. Used primarily as a deep safety, Hooker played a crucial role on the back end of the Indianapolis defense, recording 44 total tackles and two interceptions.

A very healthy Malik Hooker on his defensive role:

“It would be great to get more plays and go out there and be more productive for this team...But if I’m not getting targeted, that means I’m doing my job, and the guys in front are doing their job."https://t.co/ajROtGwYYW

Colts’ S Malik Hooker tore meniscus in his knee and is expected to be out 4-6 weeks, per source. He actually came back in and finished the game with the injury.

Malik Hooker made a couple great plays at the line of scrimmage. Here’s one from early on when he easily sheds a block avoids another blocker and makes a tackle for a 3-yard loss. pic.twitter.com/l7WWiAHNrt
