I remember the year we were on Hard Knocks in 2013, Jayson DiManche was one of the big stories and he played his way onto the roster and I thought "he's going to be a good linebacker for us this year. He looked great in the pre-season."
He basically only played special teams for us.
I like Hodge, but I would never expect that he gets significant playing time this year. Not unless a bunch of injuries occur.
Hodge has shown good speed off the corner, and will get his chance to see what he can do against starters soon. I expected to see him some yesterday just from a heat rotation of Linemen. They may wait till we have a game well in hand to try him out.
