Malik Hooker is the 15th pick in this week’s mock draft for the Buffalo Bills. They are in need of more talent in the secondary.

Hooker is a young player in just his sophomore season, but he has insane vision for a safety. He is good at reading the quarterback’s eyes and has the speed and hips to cover the whole field.

His ball skills have shown this season too, picking up four interceptions and an interception return for a touchdown. He is first in the Big Ten and second in the FBS in interceptions.

Hooker’s 23 tackles are third on the team. His 17 solo tackles put him first on the team.
