CB Hobbs Should Not Be Counted Out

In a relatively crowded cornerback group (which now contains Sheldon Brown, Asante Samuel, Jack Ikegwuonu, Courtney Robinson, Joselio Hanson, Macho Harris, Dimitri Patterson, and Trae Williams), the 5'9", 195 lb. Ellis Hobbs should definitely not be overlooked. While he may not have a string of awards or Pro-Bowl appearances under his belt, Hobbs (see picture) has quietly become one of the most feared special teams players in the league. Although he'll occasionally get a chance to start at his listed position of CB, he is most known for his dangerous kick return skills, and should not be regarded with doubt throughout Training Camp and preseason.

I agree, he's a lock to make the roster as a

primary kick returner and depth CB. He might not break the Sheldon/Asante/Joselio rotation at first, but he’s talented enough at CB to step in should any one of them miss a game or a portion of the season.

We’ve had some deep secondaries, but with Mikell/Jones/Demps at safety and then whoever else makes it out of Ike & Harris, et. al., this has big potential to be our deepest.

Would not be surprised if Maclin & Hobbs started the year as KORs.

Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome
