The full breakdown
Hockenson's grade was buoyed by steady route running in a 66-graded receiving performance, finding openings in coverage and securing quick targets like his 6-yard flat reception at Q3 06:58. He also consistently created separation downfield, notably winning on a deep corner route at Q4 14:17. However, his run blocking fell to a 57 grade across 19 snaps due to trouble maintaining perimeter leverage, highlighted by getting pushed back on a toss sweep at Q4 08:56 and allowing an inside shed at Q1 14:11. Despite flashing positive blocking ability with an edge seal at Q3 12:21, these blocking losses limited him to a 62.5 overall mark.
Strengths
- Reliable target on quick flat routes
- Finding soft spots against zone coverage
- Flashing seal ability on outside zone
Weaknesses
- Sustaining perimeter blocks on sweeps
