PROS: Wonderful body control, balance ball skills, hands and adjustments. Has a natural feel for tracking the football and he catches everything. Makes acrobatic catches look easy in addition to handling the routine stuff. Does well to find space in zone coverage to make himself available. A true technician as a route runner and he’s fairly refined. Forces his share of false steps from corners and he has some deception to him. Long and tall with a massive catch radius and he does well to extend it vertically. Outstanding skills along the sideline. The most natural hands in the class.
My only concern with Hodgins is his lack of speed. He clearly runs routes well, and uses that skill to create separation, but I think he will struggle at the next level where that will be a liability just like it was with Treadwell. He also has a weak upper body and struggles in press coverage. I think Corners will not give him any room to operate because they won't fear his speed to burn them deep.
