2025 Projections
Bound for Big Blue
The Giants selected Hood in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 37th overall.
ANALYSIS
Hood (6-foot-0, 193 pounds) wasn't widely projected to come off the board ahead of former teammate Jermod McCoy, though the latter DB's medical concerns may have contributed to this outcome. That isn't a knock on Hood's talents. He showcased greater physicality and competitiveness for 50-50 balls than his size might suggest at Tennessee in 2025, and it wouldn't be surprising for him to immediately provide free-agency signee Greg Newsome with competition for the starting outside gig across from Paulson Adebo. Hood's arrival seemingly spells the end of 2023 first-round pick Deonte Banks' developmental tenure with New York.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Potential McDuffie replacement
Wednesday's mock draft from Bruce Feldman of The Athletic has the Chiefs selecting Hood with the 29th overall pick.
ANALYSIS
The Chiefs acquired the 29th pick from the Rams as part of the trade package for Trent McDuffie, and Hood would be a cheaper and younger replacement for McDuffie in this scenario. Hood impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine with a 4.44-second 40-yard dash and 40-inch vertical. The athletic cornerback had eight passes defensed and 50 tackles for Tennessee in 2025.
