Strong start to camp Hooker has had a strong start to camp and is expected to take on an increased role this season, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Hooker is expected to start as the team's strong safety after Kenny Vaccaro was released during the offseason. He's taken to the role well early in camp and drew strong reviews for his play Friday. In addition to intercepting a pass, Hooker also played the run well and was active in coverage against tight ends. Hooker played 446 snaps on the defensive side of the ball in 2020 and figures to easily surpass that mark this season.

Moves up depth chart Hooker is expected to move into a starting role in 2021 after the Titans released fellow safety Kenny Vaccaro on Wednesday, PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Impact Hooker started the three games Vaccaro missed last season but otherwise served as the Titans' third safety. The 2019 fourth-round pick made the most of his limited opportunities in his second season, recording 51 tackles, eight pass defenses and four interceptions across only 468 defensive snaps. That production bodes well for Hooker's IDP value in 2021, though fellow Titans safety Kevin Byard (four straight seasons with 16 starts and 84 or more tackles) is a far more reliable choice.

Picks off four passes Hooker recorded 51 tackles, one tackle for loss, eight passes defensed and four interceptions across 16 games in the 2020 regular season.

Impact Hooker was the Titans' third safety for much of the season, though he was pressed into a bigger role in the absence of Kenny Vaccaro. As a result, he saw an increased role in his second season in the NFL and took advantage by improving his statistics across the board. Vaccaro could be cut this offseason with just a $3 million dead cap hit, meaning Hooker could step into a full-time starting role in the 2021 campaign.
