Player Summary:

I have to start by giving Hodges-Tomlinson a ton of props for playing outside CB as well as he did at 5’8”. Hodges-Tomlinson is a perfect example of the old saying, “it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog”. When you are seen as a mismatch you are obviously going to get challenged, but time and time again Tomlinson showed why you shouldn’t challenge him. Hodges-Tomlinson is a player who’s quick, twitchy, and makes plays. His skill set should translate nicely to an NFL nickel spot. He’s got great recovery speed to match with strong coverage skills.

The biggest concern for him is going to be run support. His ability to shed blocks was nearly non-existent. He was still able to help in run support though as he’d use his speed to navigate around blockers to make a play. Tomlinson tackles well. He tackles ball carriers at the legs which has shown success at the college level. When he gets to the pros and has big backs running at him like Henry and Chubb you wonder how he’s going to take them down.
