Zach Hodges, OLB, Harvard
Combine stats:
40 YD: 4.68
20 YD: 2.70
10 YD: 1.61
Vertical Jump: 33 1/2
Broad: 10’5″
Shuttle: 4.65
What would be another perfect fit for Ryan and his defense is obtaining depth behind Jerry Hughes. Hodges is a similar athlete that has experience playing inside and outside on Harvards’ defense.
The knock on Hodges is his strength and lean build. Often a high motor like Hodges can overcome a lack of strength at times especially as an edge rusher when beating a slower offensive tackle off the line will result in a quarterback pressure almost every time.
Buffalo may be able to snag Hodges in the middle of day three, particularly in the fifth-to-sixth round.
