From watching his highlight tapes from college, this guy has tremendous quickness, strength, & speed for a player of his size. There are several plays where he beats QBs & RBs to the sideline for lost yards. He sets up his opponents well by pushing hard, then letting up-allowing their own push to get them off balance. Once he has that accomplished, he uses his speed to get past them, and get to the ball carrier.
Hatcher is a very good athlete who is relentless in pursuit. He is confident in his speed, and believes he can run down ANY player from behind. I know he is playing against low grade competition in the tape, but any 6-6, 285 lb. player who can consistently run down QBs & RBs from behind, at any level, has a lot of upside.
The best thing I saw about Hatcher is that he has only touched the tip of his upside. The rest of the iceburg is yet to be uncovered, and it is quite large.
I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up as good or better than Canty. He is our 2006 draft steal. I really believe he is going to be that good.
