Homer started the game with both Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle in street clothes and was credited with a fifth pressure. On the first sack, Homer was the second biggest culprit, not in a good base when meeting the blitzing linebacker and immediately rocked back onto his heels. He was driven back at the exact moment Rudolph tried to climb the pocket, ending up in the quarterback's lap and causing further disruption.

Started the game with both Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle in street clothes and was credited with 1 pressure. On the first sack, Homer was the second biggest culprit: he wasn't in a good base when meeting the blitzing linebacker, was immediately rocked back onto his heels, and got driven back at the exact moment Rudolph tried to climb the pocket, ending up right in the quarterback's lap. This sent Homer further off balance and caused Rudolph to pull the ball down with no space to move.

Drafted as wide receiver three at pick 154 in a zero-running-back team strategy. The source used Homer unconventionally as a receiver despite him being a corner, as part of a strategy to avoid forcing wide receiver early in the draft. This late-round value pick represents the source's willingness to roster non-traditional positions to maintain roster flexibility.
