Hawkins has spent time on the practice squads of the Eagles, Browns, Cowboys and most recently the Dolphins. In most cases a player like Hawkins has about a 5% chance of making the roster but that is not the case at the moment. He is essentially battling David Foucault for the 4th OT spot on the roster behind Michael Oher, Mike Remmers, and Daryl Williams. There's only one other tackle on the roster that being rookie Jordan Rigsby.
Here's his college highlight reel.
Percent chance of making the roster: 20%
