Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Flashes explosive pop on contact. Wraps arms securely to make the reliable tackle, but is not technically sound.
  • He’s rangy and instinctive when he’s looking into the backfield as a zone defender.
  • He’s most comfortable moving downhill and attacking, but Hyppolite shows the kind of speed and fluidity that suggests he could be more of a sideline-to-sideline mover.
  • Trusts his eyes and shows no hesitation with good anticipation to avoid blockers.
  • Hyppolite can move laterally and chase in pursuit. A tough, violent tackler with a non-stop motor, he also shows good awareness when dropping into coverage.
  • Work in progress as a pass rusher, with upfield burst and flexibility to dip and scrape.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Lacks functional strength in the pass rush, struggling to disengage and too easily pushed past the pocket.
  • Hyppolite is in a hurry to get upfield but shows poor instincts when locating the ball against the run.
  • Hyppolite doesn’t play with the functional strength and physicality to fight through blocks; he’ll need to be covered up in order to maximize his playmaking.
