During Thursday's presser, Brad Holmes explained what he likes about Hodge.
“He’s a guy that can play outside, he can play inside, he can run, he’s got length, he’s got speed, and he’s another body that when you get into the depth of the wide receiver room,” Holmes said. “He can contribute on special teams and he’s been a good special teams contributor.”
