Early life

Hyde was born in Fostoria, Ohio, and attended Fostoria High School where he lettered in three sports: baseball, basketball and football. [1] On the gridiron, he was a team captain during his sophomore, junior, and senior seasons with the team. [2] As a junior, Hyde earned northern Ohio first-team honors as a quarterback, cornerback, and kicker. [3] He was also named honorable mention as a punter. He was additionally named a first-team defensive back and quarterback in his senior year. [4] He also earned first-team all-conference basketball and baseball honors and averaged 22 points a game in basketball during his time there. [3] During his career, he had 165 tackles, eight interceptions and seven defended passes as a cornerback. [2] As a quarterback, he had 549 rushing attempts for 3,443 yards and 46 touchdowns and also completed 606 out of 997 passes for 7,864 yards and 65 touchdowns. Hyde broke 17 school records, [1] including those for touchdown passes in a season and a career. [3]

College career

Hyde was heavily recruited coming out of high school and received scholarship offers from numerous schools including Iowa, Ball State, Bowling Green, Miami (OH), Ohio, and Toledo. [5] He was ranked as a two-star dual-threat quarterback by Rivals.com [5] He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.45 seconds, had a 3.2 GPA at Fostoria and scored a 20 on his ACT. [5]

Hyde ultimately decided to play for the Iowa Hawkeyes and competed mainly on special teams and on a defense that had 11 players who would go on to be drafted into the NFL. [1] He received his first college playing time in a game against Northern Iowa and contributed one tackle on special teams. He also appeared against the Michigan Wolverines and recorded two tackles. [1]

During his sophomore year, Hyde played a much more expanded role on defense and started all 13 games at cornerback. He made his first big impact in a game against the Ball State Cardinals, where he forced a fumble and intercepted a pass. [6] Later in the season when the Hawkeyes played Michigan State, Hyde scored his first touchdown on a lateral from teammate Tyler Sash late in the first quarter. [1] He finished the season with a career-high in tackles with 82, 58 of them solo, with 4 interceptions. His performance led to him being named as an honorable mention to the All-Big Ten team. [7]

After the successes of his second year, Hyde was rotated between free safety and cornerback during spring practice and started the first two games at safety. [1] He was moved back to cornerback against Pittsburgh and had two interceptions, the second winning the game for the Hawkeyes as it allowed them to run the clock out. [1] He finished the year with 72 tackles (1.5 for loss), 3 interceptions, and a forced fumble. He was named an honorable mention to the All-Big Ten team. [8]

In his final year with the Hawkeyes, Hyde was named a first-team All-Big Ten selection and also won the Tatum-Woodson Award, annually given to the best defensive back in the conference. [9] [10] He finished his career starting every game for three consecutive seasons. He finished his senior year with 78 tackles, 14 defensed passes, an interception, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. [1]

Professional career

Pre-draft

Hyde was one of 60 defensive backs to attend the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana, and performed all of the combine drills. [11] On March 25, 2013, Hyde attended Iowa's Pro Day and ran positional drills. He attempted to perform better in multiple combine drills, but was only able to lower his time in the three-cone drill (6.67s). He was projected to be a sixth round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. [12] He was also ranked the 25th best cornerback prospect in the draft by DraftScout.com. [13]

Throughout training camp, Hyde competed to be a backup cornerback against Casey Hayward, Davon House, Jarrett Bush, and James Nixon. [19] Head coach Mike McCarthy named Hyde the fifth cornerback on the Packers' depth chart to start the regular season, behind Sam Shields, Tramon Williams, Casey Hayward, and Davon House.

D. Jennings to the Chicago Bears in free agency. [30] [31] Throughout training camp, Hyde competed against rookie first round pick Ha Ha Clinton-Dix for the job as the starting free safety. [32] Defensive coordinator Dom Capers named Hyde the starting free safety to start the regular season, opposite strong safety Morgan Burnett.
