Published:
There is no process for former Ohio State star Malik Hooker. He just comes in and does his thing.
Hooker got his NFL career off on the right foot on Sunday, making his first career start with the Indianapolis Colts. And as a first-time starter, Hooker grabbed his first interception in the professional ranks.
Does this look familiar, Ohio State fans?
First career start. First career interception.

Hooker was taken in the first round of the NFL Draft with the 15th overall pick. Despite battling some injuries, he was able to make his first appearance as a starter in the Colts’ home opener against Arizona on Sunday.
Last year with the Buckeyes, Hooker intercepted six passes, returning three for touchdowns.
