he was the best ball hawk i’ve ever seen at osu in my 30+ years of watching. i’ve never seen anyone else be able to track the ball so well. plus he was electric when he’d return it. hope he gets healthy and finds a team.
He’s still relatively young too right? Hopefully he thrives with my cowboys and that defense turns it around this upcoming season. If that defense can turn up Dallas might be tough. Lol I find myself saying this every year
I can tell you I went to the same high school as hooker and his to say he was good at basketball is an understatement. Very kind humble dude hope he does well with the cowboys! Oh yeah side note Malik was 2 grades above me and Geno stone ravens safety was a grade below me same school new castle high
One of the best safeties I’ve ever seen in college. Absolute ball-hawk at Ohio State! Hopefully he gets healthy & lands in a good spot, would love to see him shine the NFL.
I mean the most important ability is availability. He can’t help his team from the sideline. Dude played a very aggressive style and made bad reads while attempting to make plays at the nfl level. For his draft position, he is a bust.
I feel sorry for him. When he’s on the field, he is a really good safety. Just too many major injuries, and if he was able to stay healthy, this would have been a different outcome.
It’s not the worst idea but most people are horrid and some people don’t have comparisons. Like people said Solomon Thomas was Aaron Donald when he wasn’t half the athlete, half the competitor, or anywhere near as high a ceiling. It’s odd the 49ers don’t get hate for that pick considering they could have had Watson or Mahomes as well as the bear
Man as a Dallas fan I can understand those other injuries but that Achilles ain’t nothing to play with , that already kinda label him as a 90% player despite the other injuries he recovered from
Malik turn his achilles so it’s easy to see why it took him so long to get a team. But now that’s he’s on Dallas if he can stay healthy he’s going to become a Pro Bowl type player. I’m 100% positive on that. There’s nothing that went wrong with him other than injuries. Dallas hasn’t had a player like him since Darren Woodson. Malik will be a star while wearing that star on his helmet!
How many different injuries did this poor guy get Jerez. Hopefully he can stay healthy and play to his potential so my cowboys defense can be t’d up this year
The reason he was still not signed was that Malik and his agent saw what Adoree Jackson got from the NY Giants. $24.5 million guaranteed. His career pretty mirrored what Adoree Jackson's as they both have a few good season but an injury prone 4th season. Both got their 5th year declined and made unrestricted free agent. Adoree Jackson cashed in with the Giant with a 3 yr $39 mil with $24.5mil guaranteed. Malik Hooker definitely thinks he deserved that much. At this late stage, Malik will need to get his asking price way down and take a prove-it one year contract.
The only year he was actually any good was 2017 because he fit Pagano's defensive scheme. When Pagano was fired and we brought in Eberflus in 2018, his scheme was much different, and Malik just wasn't the right type of player for that scheme. The great thing about Julian Blackmon is that he's the perfect type of player for our scheme.
@@Reggiefrmtheoak I think it's a good thing for both the Cowboys and Hooker. Hooker gets to be teamed up with Dan Quinn and the Cowboys get a much needed addition at safety.
Choose a HBCU. Education without the marginalization, exploitation and toxic racist environments. Be a king in your own house instead of a servant in their house
Achilles tears = career killers. Sadly he's probably done. At best he can get to maybe 80% of what he was and he was already injury prone. Really bad break for Malik he was a beast in 2016 just a freak of nature. A true center-fielder he's the reason the Buckeyes went to single-high safety as their base. He was actually an upgrade for Vonn Bell which is saying a lot given Bell's been solid as a pro.
I hate using the bust label on guys whose careers are destroyed by injuries. He showed flashes of what he could be and probably would've been great had his body held up.
Don’t feel bad for him He’s back in the field! I’m just curious to know who you are that you feel the need to create a video about someone you don’t know? Scott Fisher thank you for the shoutout but we really don’t need your input over this way sir. Let’s Go Bucks
Nothing wrong with playing aggressive. But in his case he needs to play smarter so his body holds up. Cowboys will get him straight. Look at Jaylon Smith. He had a huge injury years ago. Got him straightened out.
Who Should I do next?
RHETT BOMAR
Harrison Beck aka throw god from TikTok
Ryan Perriloux LSU QB
Garrett Wolfe
Donnel Pumphrey
He’s honestly been solid in the league when healthy
He’s a high risk player. Watch him more closely you’ll see he goes for big hits and misses, misses reads as a FS but does get a high number of INTs
@@drewwik5351 it’s probably cause he tries to make plays he couldn’t make before he got hurt
This dude making the video is a hater 😒🙄.
Just signed to the Cowboys let’s go💪🏿🏈🏆
I still got hope in Hooker. I really hope he can get healthy. Man I feel bad for him.
Cowboys just signed him.
Yessir!
Injuries got the best of Malik but at least my man got the bag for him and his family
💯💯💯
I thought he was still a star for the colts
I’m glad my cowboys signed him I just hope he can stay healthy.
Welcome to the Cowboys!
he was the best ball hawk i’ve ever seen at osu in my 30+ years of watching.
i’ve never seen anyone else be able to track the ball so well. plus he was electric when he’d return it.
hope he gets healthy and finds a team.

Dallas Cowboys
He is probably the best ball hawk in the league but he just can't stay healthy.
I can tell you I went to the same high school as hooker and his to say he was good at basketball is an understatement. Very kind humble dude hope he does well with the cowboys! Oh yeah side note Malik was 2 grades above me and Geno stone ravens safety was a grade below me same school new castle high
Sucks when you have a ton of talent but your body just won’t cooperate.
Hooker is going off for the cowboys… so glad we signed him!! Now on to the second round of the playoffs
One of the best safeties I’ve ever seen in college.
Absolute ball-hawk at Ohio State!
Hopefully he gets healthy & lands in a good spot, would love to see him shine the NFL.
We will never stop loving You Malik!!
NFL bust? Injured does not equate to a bust… when he’s on the field he is one of the best
I mean the most important ability is availability. He can’t help his team from the sideline. Dude played a very aggressive style and made bad reads while attempting to make plays at the nfl level. For his draft position, he is a bust.
Dallas just signed him
I hope he can stay healthy with the Cowboys. Great video. Cheers!
Hooker was such a beast for us. Can’t believe he’s not in the league anymore. Some guys just can’t stay healthy and it’s heartbreaking
Not out yet! About to sign with my boys!
I feel sorry for him. When he’s on the field, he is a really good safety. Just too many major injuries, and if he was able to stay healthy, this would have been a different outcome.
This dude wasn’t Ed Reed but damn was I confident he’d be elite single high guy
He did a great job at Ohio state and I feel bad for him and injurys will keep him from playing in the NFL again really sad
I think comparing players might be the dumbest thing in sports bc every time I see a big DT coming out of college, he’s suddenly the next Aaron Donald
It’s not the worst idea but most people are horrid and some people don’t have comparisons. Like people said Solomon Thomas was Aaron Donald when he wasn’t half the athlete, half the competitor, or anywhere near as high a ceiling. It’s odd the 49ers don’t get hate for that pick considering they could have had Watson or Mahomes as well as the bear
@@vsauce4678 I think it’s cause they ended up in the super bowl that they don’t get hate for it
Welcome to Dallas!

he is a good player but is made of glass . he will get a mild injury and sit out 4 weeks he cant play banged up at all like most guys do .
He was so fun to watch at OSU
3:36 A safety IS a defensive back...
If he didn’t get hurt he’d be a stud 😢
How many different injuries did this poor guy get Jerez. Hopefully he can stay healthy and play to his potential so my cowboys defense can be t’d up this year
i love these videos
Let's go COWBOYS!!!! WELCOME TO A REAL TEAM HOOKER!!!
Jets should sign him! He’s a steal if he stays healthy. But hasn’t shown the ability to.
He’s balling in Dallas
We won the state championship in high school with him and tim 100 percent sure he’ll be in the nfl again when he’s fully healthy
As a Ohio state and Indianapolis colts fan this one is painful to watch
A little too early for this bro lol he a cowboy now!!

Look back on Linval Joseph. He played for the Giants and Vikings at DT.
Who is the best DB in Ohio State history?
Jack Tatum
Antoine Winfield
Chris Gamble
Tatum no doubt
He got a brother named Marcus who’s a DB for OSU, but he was doing drugs and passed out at a drive-through and might not be on the team when it starts
He get to start tomorrow, hope he can stay healthy, Go Cowboys
He signed with Dallas
Cowboys might get him 👀
Dudes tire everything in his body 💀
This aged well…
He is a vital piece for the cowboys now 💪
Sad to see him go but Blackman is going to be a beast for the colts
What happened is he signed with America’s team!
Lol he killing me in Madden right now in the Franchise
Yep him and bob sanders
And now he's officially a Dallas Cowboy!!
Cowboys need to sign this man!
Welp they did
@@Reggiefrmtheoak I think it's a good thing for both the Cowboys and Hooker. Hooker gets to be teamed up with Dan Quinn and the Cowboys get a much needed addition at safety.
Choose a HBCU. Education without the marginalization, exploitation and toxic racist environments. Be a king in your own house instead of a servant in their house
he will have a great career in Dallas - perfect fit at safety
back in the league lol
It’s not a real rumor cause now he’s on a team
Achilles tears = career killers. Sadly he's probably done. At best he can get to maybe 80% of what he was and he was already injury prone.

elite talent and proves it when hes on the field. But as they say the best ability is availability. sad
Back when Ohio State used to recruit players without fathers.
is that true?
DAMN RIGHT HE DID!!
thats my cousin he was so tuff for new castle
He will definitely get another shot
I hate using the bust label on guys whose careers are destroyed by injuries. He showed flashes of what he could be and probably would've been great had his body held up.
He’s currently on the Cowboys roster
Don’t feel bad for him He’s back in the field! I’m just curious to know who you are that you feel the need to create a video about someone you don’t know? Scott Fisher thank you for the shoutout but we really don’t need your input over this way sir. Let’s Go Bucks
because i can make whatever video i want just like you can? lol
Make a vid about Scott Frost
When you get hurt you can find yourself with a job in the NFL really fast. Couldn't stay healthy
He’s not bad it’s just he didn’t live up to the hype
He’s extremely injury prone
Spoiler alert he’s still in the league
Malik signed a contract with the Dallas Cowboys
He's with the cowboys
A bust??? Thats a reach!!! He has been productive when healthy and isnt out of the league!
He just signed with Dallas
Not out of the league...
He is still a monster, just not been healthy.
Nothing wrong with playing aggressive. But in his case he needs to play smarter so his body holds up. Cowboys will get him straight. Look at Jaylon Smith. He had a huge injury years ago. Got him straightened out.
He's with the Cowboys now, let's see what he can do
How is he out of the NFL?
Was good, but couldn't stay healthy. He doesn't deserve to be out of the league
Welcome to the Dallas Cowboys Malik!
Hooker could have been a solid ProBowl guy if he could just stay healthy!! Knees are a bitch when they go bad especially for speed guys
I know him he’s from new castle I’m from new castle he’s not from some other town but you most right about him a lot still missing tho
Eagles should look at him
Yes he is a busy by nfl standards when he is healthy he is pretty elite
Road to 50k
He’ll do great with my Boys
To early he is on the cowboys now
Steelers should honestly sign him
He’s visiting Pittsburgh rn !
@@GS-hp5fc fr?
@@sptnvnm7119 yeah and he’s been hinting ab it on Twitter
@@GS-hp5fc please sign him I’m sick of seeing edmunds blow coverage😩
He’s signing with the Dallas Cowboys
Dallas looking at em, he still nice Go Bucks!
Safety is a DB
