Executive Summary

Preston Hodge projects as an undrafted free agent cornerback with developmental potential in a zone-heavy defensive scheme. His film shows consistent effort and positional awareness, though his athleticism and length limit his upside as a press-man defender. Teams seeking depth at corner with patience for a multi-year development arc will have interest, particularly if he lands in a coaching situation that can refine his technique and assignment discipline.

⚠ Risk Factors

Hodge's limited athletic profile (likely sub-4.5 40-time range based on tape) creates a low ceiling for man-coverage assignments at the next level, and his competition level at Colorado may not adequately predict NFL-caliber receiver separation speed. Injury history or scheme constraints could prevent him from earning meaningful snaps, leaving him vulnerable to practice squad cycling rather than roster stability.
