2019 NFL Draft Results: Titans trade up in 4th round, select safety Amani Hooker

Jon Robinson pulled off his first trade of the 2019 NFL Draft, moving from the 121st pick up to the 116th pick. The Titans chose safety Amani Hooker out of Iowa with the pick.

Hooker is 5-11, 210 pounds and tested really well at the NFL Combine back in February. He ran the 40 yard dash in 4.47 seconds, while posting a 37 inch vertical leap. His 6.81 time in the three cone drill ranked in the 79th percentile.

He posted four interceptions in his final season as a Hawkeye, bringing his career total to six. Hooker registered 65 total tackles, including 3.5 for loss.

Here’s what Iowa SBNation blog Black Heart Gold Pants had to say on Hooker.

Hooker showed unprecedented versatility for an Iowa defender, seamlessly shifting between safety, outside linebacker, and slot cornerback. Hooker’s versatility sparked an important evolution in Iowa’s notoriously static defensive scheme as the Hawkeyes adopted a number of 4-2-5 defensive looks designed to capitalize on Hooker’s skill as both a run and pass defender. The Big Ten took notice, and Hooker was named the Tatum-Woodson Defensive Back of the Year.
