Wasn't he on our practice Squad? What happen to him?

He was on the pratice squad but got released Oct 31st.  Not on anyone's roster in the NFL currently.

Bucky Hodges replaces Keyarris Garrett on practice squad and then month latter more-less Panthers sign TE Evan Baylis, release Bucky Hodges .

Good college player, but very much a tweener at the NFL level. Doesn't block and isn't really physical enough to play TE, too slow to play WR. I think there's some attitude issues as well. If he had the right attitude, he could probably make a roster.

[SOJA]

I said before the draft and I stand by my position. Bucky Hodges is OVERRATED and expected things to be handed to him all through college. I'm not saying he hasn't changed his ways but if he still has the work ethic he had back then he has no chance in the NFL where everyone is just as big and fast as him.

If we had him on the roster and let him go, no need for this dumb ass thread.

That's what I wanted to know.. Was there some attitude things or off the field stuff.. That got him out of here.. I knew he was going to need some bulking up before he was ready to the full responsibility of the position .. I just thought 6'7 247lb was some nice clay to develop on the practice squad..

Was he a problem child in college?? Any off the field things going on?? He must have had some attitude things to get released from the Vikes and Us in the same year he was drafted..

That was always the impression I got from VT fans. The guys oozed with talent, but pretty much expected to coast on talent alone and pretty much just thought that he was the poo.

Sometimes (okay, pretty much always) I have a hard time putting things like that on the kids. A lot of these guys listen to the wrong people in making that decision. They should be listening to the NFL advisory committee and their coaches with NFL connections, not friends trying to ride their coattails telling them they're the next star, agents trying to get in their pockets, and media talking heads like Mel Kiper and Todd McShay. Seems like every year there's guys who the media "experts" have ranked as 3rd rounders who end up going undrafted.

Stuff like this:

This early in the draft process, projections are difficult, however. At this point last year, Kiper said Bucky Hodges could be the second tight end off the board and called receiver Isaiah Ford "a solid second-rounder." They ended up going in the sixth and seventh rounds of last year's draft, respectively.

As fans for the most part we understand that these mock drafts and media "experts" are pretty much just for entertainment purposes only, but you gotta put yourself in the mind of a 20 year old kid trying to make a decision on his future. He wants to play in the NFL. He wants to make millions of dollars. And he wants it NOW. These media talking heads spewing out of their asses can really mislead these kids and contribute to some really poor decisions that has a real negative impact on their future.
