Hell yes I do the kid can play very talented he was on the roster most of last season, played really well when given an opportunity against NE in the last game.

Vikes converted him to TE with the note he was "as raw as they come." I always hate when they try to convert big WRs into in-line tight ends. It never works out and it wastes what they do well.

They had 3 TEs going into this week. Now they have 5..Offseason roster size is 90.. Weird how they want to have more than 3 TEs for OTAs/training camp..really strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Mart Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Born in Virginia Beach, Virginia to Temuchin Hodges and Kimberly Thompson, Hodges attended Salem High School, where he played quarterback for coach Robert Jackson. Growing up, he admired former Ohio State quarterback and current Redskins wide receiver Terrelle Pryor, and as a quarterback, Hodges modeled his game after him Originally recruited as a pro-style quarterback, Hodges arrived at Virginia Tech as the presumed heir to Logan Thomas at quarterback, but converted from quarterback to tight end during the spring of 2013 and earned the "Coaches Award for the offense" for his exceptional spring session. In 2013, Hodges redshirted while working with the scout team as both a quarterback and tight end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was often ranked at the bottom of the top 5.... In fact, if you haven't heard of him, that's a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradis Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 50 minutes ago, JETSfaninNE said: Found this on Reddit: Apparently he was waived at the end of preseason with a head injury. The Vikings gave him an injury settlement instead of leaving him on IR, then he spent a few weeks on the Panthers practice squad, and he's been a FA since late October. I remember that actually now that you say that. That's why i thought he wasn't even rostered. At some point last year, i was like WTF is going on in MIN, they waived MyCole Pruitt, Bucky's no where to be seen - instead that blocking TE from UTSA Morgan is getting all the snaps. Honestly though, when you watched bucky go through drills and sh*t, he did not look good. He tested well athletically, but looked awkward, stone hands, and stiff hips. That's why he dropped to the 6th and after 1 month and camp - they said "whoops. fck it, just cut him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was initially considered one of the more attractive TE prospects and PLUMMETED in the draft. I'm surprised he's been given up on so quickly after being drafted, but that only validates his drop in the draft; a camp body who may surprise if the opportunity arises.

That's why they cut him on a injury settlement as opposed to keeping him on IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sep 3, 2017 Hodges suffered a concussion in the preseason finale against the Miami Dolphins, which will allow the Vikings to move him to injured reserve. Once Hodges recovers from his concussion, there is a chance that the team might reach some sort of injury settlement with him so that he can gain his outright release. Sep 12, 2017 Hodges (head) was waived by the Vikings off injured reserve Tuesday after both sides reached an injury settlement, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Hodges was waived/injured by the club during final roster cuts prior to Week 1, and he reverted to the IR. He now is free to find a new opportunity once he fully recovers from his head injury. https://www.dailynorseman.com/2017/9/3/16250284/vikings-waive-bucky-hodges-with-injury-designation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untouchable Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 1 hour ago, maury77 said: We need @Untouchable , our resident VA Tech expert, to chime in. I really liked him coming out. Don’t know what caused him to fall so far in the first place. For a long time he was being talked about as a Top 3 TE in that class and a potential late 1st/early 2nd rounder. I thought he’d be off the board way earlier than a guy like Leggett. He’s essentially an oversized receiver who offers dick as an in-line blocker at the position...but I think you can say that about most of the TE’s who have come out of college over the last decade. Hopefully he can at least stick to the roster, if not give guys like Walford and Tomlinson a run for the starting job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Walrus Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 He's not being signed because he's considered the answer. He has potential and his career has stumbled out of the blocks after being a high prospect this time a year ago. Bring him in for competition as see how he goes in camp.
