In case you didn't know, former Ohio State safety Malik Hooker is very good at catching a football — and may be even better at it with just one hand.

As he continues to recover from sports hernia and hip labrum surgeries, Hooker did not take part in Pro Day with his former teammates at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Thursday afternoon.

However, Hooker took to Twitter on Friday to show NFL scouts and coaches that his recovery is going well and not affecting his ability to intercept an opposing quarterback. He checked in at the NFL Scouting Combine last month with 10 and 1/4-inch hands, easily the largest among the Ohio State players invited. So really, catching passes like this isn't all that surprising.

Hooker posted this video last week. On Thursday, he reiterated to reporters that he is way ahead in his rehab.

Friday's clip is just another example of his freak abilities and why he enters the upcoming NFL Draft as a projected top-10 pick.
