- An NFL Scout said of Jimmy: "Hitchcock is a smart gambler and guesser at corner who doesn't have really good speed and can be beaten deep". "If he guesses wrong, he really can be exposed". "He's an average NFL corner at best". "He played much better a couple of years ago than he played last year".
- In February of 2000 Jimmy was signed by The Carolina Panthers after stints with New England and Minnesota. Former Carolina Coach George Seifert spoke about Jimmy : "Jimmy Hitchcock has been an effective player in the NFL for the last five years," and we look forward to him being a part of our secondary and adding to what should be a very competitive situation."
- During an eight-year NFL career with the Patriots, Vikings and Panthers, Hitchcock has 19 interceptions for 545 yards and five touchdowns. He also has 357 career tackles, two sacks, four forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
- Released by The Detroit Lions and is out of football. (December 2002)
