Giants hoping to see lots of celebrations from rookie CB Colton Hood
Hood was impressive pm the field and at the podium on Saturday.
Colton Hood speaking to media on Saturday. | John Jones-Imagn Images New York Giants rookie cornerback Colton Hood has been surprised by the fact that his “hood” celebration after making a nice defensive play has become a thing that people clamor to see. “It’s really cool.
I didn’t expect it to get this big,” Hood said after Saturday’s rookie minicamp practice. “I’ve seen other players from different teams use it, but it really isn’t the same because their last name is not Hood. “It’s been really cool just to see it pick up like that.
I’m going to keep doing it the rest of my career. ” When Hood picked off a pass on Saturday, ripping a ball out of the hands of tryout running back Miles Davis, he didn’t intend to break out his celebration. “It’s practice.
I’m not really going to celebrate on my teammates,” Hood said. “It’s definitely going to come out when the season starts for sure. ” Defensive backs coach Addison Lynch wanted to see it, though, so Hood obliged as he came off the field.
