Hibner has a solid set of mitts. Over the last two years, he has had a 56.2% contested catch rate. He'll lose a few at the point of contract, but he has the athleticism to continue to grow in the area. Hibner dropped only two of his collegiate targets, and both were of the concentration variety. Hibner has a 9.25 RAS, a 94th percentile vertical jump, a 4.57 40-yard dash time, and a 72nd percentile shuttle. His big-time athleticism shows up on his film. He was 27th and 4th in YAC/reception over the last two years. Hibner isn't a mauler after the catch, but he has the speed to outrun defenders in the open field and on crossing routes and up the seam. He's a legit vertical threat down the seam and on deep over routes. I question how high his target earning ceiling is, but he should post nice per-route metrics in the NFL, as he'll get chunk plays when he is targeted. He's a linear athlete. You won't see many players where Hibner is juking someone out, but he can easily burn them to the sideline and scorch them. He has fluid hips and the ability to adjust in the air and to targets outside of his frame. Good initial punch as a blocker. Tenacious. He'll reestablish his feet during a snap with a good second effort. He will dip his head and lunch at defenders. He'll get crushed in the NFL if he doesn't get out of his habit.
