The Indianapolis Colts have selected safety Malik Hooker with the 15th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
After a teriffic 2016, Hooker was named a unanimous first-team All-American in his one year as a starter. A third-year performer with sophomore eligibility this season, Hooker was a standout from game No. 1 when he recorded two interceptions in his first start.
He ranked third nationally in interceptions with seven, interceptions yards with 181, and he was first among all players with three interception return touchdowns, including a critical 16-yarder in the win over Michigan. Hooker red-shirted the 2014 season as a true freshman and played in 12 games in 2015.
