Jayron Hosley, Virginia Tech
Ht: 5'10, Wt: 170 pounds

Strengths: Hosley has quick feet and breaks on the ball really well. Has loose hips to open and turn so he can run with wide receivers. Excellent playing off man. Has good hands to make a play on the ball.

Weaknesses: Has a slight frame and will need to add strength to hold up against stronger NFL wide receivers. Didn’t make as many plays as a junior despite seeing plenty of passes come his way. Struggles to play the run. Likes to play off and give a big cushion to try and make a play on the ball.

Combine quotable (On his stats dip in 2011): I want to say I didn’t so much fall off. My productivity as far as picks wasn’t there but I feel I still played a solid season. I grew in one aspect of my game as far as tackling, I got better on my tackling. I feel like I had a pretty solid season.

This player should be a plug-and-play replacement for Mekhi Becton right off the bat.

He’s a bit of a liability in the run game, but his potential in the pass game was enough for Buffalo Rumblings.
