Colts safety Malik Hooker is one of the few bright spots on his team, and he showed why in Sunday’s game against the Seahawks.
Hooker dazzled on one particular play in the third quarter, when a pass deflected off Jimmy Graham’s hands. The Colts safety showed how athletic he is, snagging the ball with one hand and taking off running with it. He was then met by Seahawks running back J.D. McKissic, but Hooker was not fazed, and he used a brutal stiff-arm to send the young player to the ground.
Off Jimmy Graham's hands…

That interception return set the Colts up for the only points they scored in the second half — a measly field goal. Without Hooker’s highlight-reel play, they would’ve been held scoreless in the game’s final two quarters.
