He recorded only one tackle, one assist, while adding no stops. In coverage Hancock notched up no pass breakups, no interceptions, and QB rating when targetted of 75.7.

Scouting Report: Strengths
- Anticipation skills and explosive, downhill burst could make him a star in zone-based scheme.
- Has good cover skills, athleticism and big -play ability to be a lead cornerback if Hancock matures.
- Stays low in his backpedal and shows the click-and-close ability to break up plays in front of him. Hancock can move well laterally and shows excellent instincts when looking into the backfield in zone coverage.
- Tracks and plays the ball well, and has decent hands for the interception. Provides very tight man coverage with playmaking ability in zone.
- Has a nice, low backpedal and shows the click-and-close ability to play off his man. He also has the good long speed to turn and run as a press coverage guy and the powerful hands to disrupt receivers early in the route
- Hancock tracks the ball well and does a nice job of getting his head around in plenty of time to avoid flags.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- NFL quarterbacks may take advantage of his aggressiveness in man and zone to eye up short routes and go over the top
- Is undersized and underpowered when lining up in press coverage. Hancock simply lacks power in his punch.
- Better in press coverage than in off coverage, when Hancock can look shaky and unsure when transitioning out of his backpedal. He’ll give up throws underneath.
