Hooker was a top 15 pick. He has performed well at the NFL level. He is an athletic freak of nature.
I realize he had a significant injury last year, that could have affected his playing ability long term. Having said that, we signed him late, for why equates to pennies.
This seems like a low risk high reward signing. Having said that, how is the world did we sign Hooker to such a team friendly contract??? Pretty much every team had the same shot at him we did and he signed here for pennies.
Additionally, how did he get away from his prior team. He is almost the equivalent of having Parsons get injured for a couple of years and the team giving up on him prematurely. (Jimmy Smith comes to mind)
