NASHVILLE — Former Iowa standout Amani Hooker says he is taking on a leadership role with the Tennessee Titans. Hooker is preparing for his fifth season for the Titans at safety and is coming off a 2022 season in which he had 46 tackles and one interception in a season in which he was limited to nine games with shoulder and knee injuries.

Hooker says it is important for him to help the younger defensive backs get ready.

Hooker says as a veteran he knows what it takes to prepare for the grind of an NFL season.

Hooker says this is an important time leading into training camp.

The Titans are coming off a disappointing 7-10 season in 2022.

 

 

FOXBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS — Former Iowa All-American Riley Reiff is preparing for his 12th season and fifth different team in the NFL. Reiff is getting ready for his first season with the New England Patriots.

Reiff joined a team that includes a former college teammate.

Reiff says his time at Iowa prepared him to play in the NFL.

Reiff previously played for the Lions, Vikings, Bengals and Bears.
