Hughes played a lot these past two seasons he’s been in the NFL. He’s also been good when he’s been on the field.

For Hughes, it’s not a question of whether he can play; it’s whether he can stay healthy.

He suffered a neck injury recently. Before that injury, he tore his ACL.

In his early NFL career, Hughes has proved that he can be serviceable at cornerback, and if he stays healthy the sky is the limit. Here’s to hoping he does.
