Amani Hooker was everywhere

If you were eagle eyed and looking for #37, you may have seen lined up him as a safety with the first team defense on the first 3-and-out.

Later in the game I am sure you saw him line up at cornerback on the LOS against the second receiver from the boundary vs trips.

What you may not have seen was that Amani Hooker also was the personal protector on punts and was on the kick return team as well. To me that screams that not only is Hooker a lock for the roster, but the Titans view him as a necessary player to be active on gamedays.

The Tennessee Titans coaching staff is doing their best to make him indispensable and the more things you can do, the more valuable you are when it comes to those game day rosters.

I thought the plan was for Hooker to eventually take over the slot cornerback role from Logan Ryan if he left in free agency, but now I think they are just trying to get their best 11 on the field on defense, and Hooker is just that talented.
