Zeek 16,649 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Legacy player. His dad is Bengie Hood (former Auburn WR) and his uncle is Roderick Hood (former Auburn CB). It is yet to be seen how hard we will push, but if Auburn determines he is a priority then things should be wrapped up quickly. Standing at 6'0" and weighing 170 lbs. he wouldn't be a bad 3* pick up at this point in the process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roderick was a heck of a CB and great punt returner also had some success in the NFL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I saw that Roderick had 8 seasons in the NFL. Not too bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hood was basically a walk-on at every level of football he ever tried. Was buried on the depth chart in HS and fought his way up, walked on at AU and made a name for himself and went undrafted and had a long NFL career. I think that's correct. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive mentality and effort right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,140 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Great family tree a solid 3 star and we have plenty of scholarships available. We should push for this young man. If he has same work ethic as seen from his father and uncle he will be a steal. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,096 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Rod Hood got paid by the Cardinals too. Worked his butt off at Auburn and in Philly to earn it. Played in a Super Bowl too I believe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
