Amani Hooker

When the Titans drafted Amani Hooker in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, there was some thought that he could be the heir-apparent to Ryan after the Iowa product posted an elite slot coverage grade in college.

Perhaps that is still the intent, but for now it looks as though at the very least Hooker will have to compete with Fulton to get significant snaps at the position in 2020.

We didn’t get a ton of looks at Hooker in coverage last season after he played just 30 percent of snaps. What we do know is that he runs a 4.48 40-yard dash time, so he definitely has the speed the Titans need.

Hooker could see a part-time role in the slot this season, but don’t rule him out for getting the majority of snaps there over the rookie Fulton if he can prove to be better there in camp.
