Former Michigan Wolverines standout Khaleke Hudson, as of right now, isn’t a guy that anyone seems to believe represents the most dangerous of threats to opposing offenses in the passing game, but he does fit in a scheme that many of the NFL’s defensive coordinators are starting to employ more often.

More and more, teams are placing a traditional linebacker on the field and adding a nice-sized safety at the second level in place of another linebacker in hopes that the guy playing safety can be this hybrid that can blow things up at the line of scrimmage and disrupt those shorter passing routes if need be.

That’s where Hudson can make an immediate impact on this Eagles defense while he works on his coverage skills.

He’s a five-foot-eleven, 224-pound standout that turned in a rather impressive showing at the scouting combine. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.56 seconds. He threw those 225 pounds up 30 times on the bench press. He also registered a 30-inch vertical jump and a 120-inch broad jump.

In his final season with the Wolverines, he racked up 102 tackles, three passes breakups, and two sacks. Keep an eye on him as we move through the draft process.
