That’s right Hendon! Knock Jared Goff out of the starting position. With you at the helm, you and the rest of the talent on the Lions can bring the Lombardi trophy to the D.
Hendon Hooker is a top QB for me. He isn’t afraid of the pressure and has incredible accuracy deep. Plus, when he makes a mistake, he then makes up for it the next play.
Agree. He is a starting qb rite out of the gate . Someone said on here he's a 3rd string qb ha bullshit. Geoff will not stay healthy an when hooked gets the chance to start he will never lose the job like Brady just needed the chance to prove it
My Lions got him in thr 3td round and I think its a steal. Detroit is the perfect NFL team for him because he can play behind Goff for a year or two till hes learned the offense and he will make at least a good backup with the possibility of being a starter in a couple years. While more complex, the Lions offense is set up similarly to Tennessee. I loved this pick
Hendon is a great leader on and off the field. He is a great pick up for the Lions. I just wished my Falcons would have picked him up. Oh well ... I am still rooting for his success with the Lions.
For context Hall of Fame QB Dan Marino had a 59.4 completion for his NFL career. Even though Hooker hasn't played 1 down for his career, he averaged 66.05 in his starts. Contrast that against Marinos' stats of 57.6 at Pitt, and that's not too shabby. Nearly 70 percent on passes overall is very good!
For more context: Marino played in a different era where 60% was the standard for the most accurate qbs. In the modern game the average has gone up about 10% and there is no reasonable way to compare passing statistics between eras without first using a formula to adjust Marinos numbers to what they would be in the modern game. Marino was a great even among greats to the point where even guys like Aikman praised him as the perfect player. So I would advise against comparison, as it would be nothing but unfair to compare a guy who's going to be drafted in the 3rd from an air raid system to a man who passed for 5,000 yards when the standard for greatness was 4 and accumulated the most passing yards in nfl history without an achilis
For any team, Hooker as QB will be like having the coach on the field. He is smart and will study and will implement the coaches scheme and game plan while he coaches/leads the team in real time on the field and sidelines. The last 15 seconds of the 2022 Alabama game is Hooker in a snap shot.
As a Lions fan, this draft choice was almost perfectly guided. He’s got the talent. He’s got the smarts. He’s got the toughness. And he’s got the time to get healthy behind Jared Goff for this coming season. Very excited to see how this goes.
1. Hook has to throw the ball. 2 decision making is good. 3. Very little INTs. If what Tennessee did was so effective why isn’t everyone doing it? Hook has Size. Arm. Wheels. Smart’s. He didn’t have the greatest play maker’s around him. He does hold the ball to long. But that can be coached up. Lions are so blessed to have him. AR didn’t have great numbers in college so why is Hooker different from him???
The crazies part of that offense was Hyatt just being magically so wide open over and over again against everybody, and the ball just drifts into his hands. It was unbelievable.
A Player that is older can be very successful at a older age that’s a qb than a LB RB or a WR. Look at Tom Brady. A Rodgers Brett Farve Joe Montana Etc. Matt Stafford would have been fine but he had a broken back and other issues. Hendon Hooker will be great in time. Being behind the O Line that the Lions have. He will be ready to be extremely successful in a couple of years. Brad Holmes did a great job again.
Hendon Hooker has real talent, a football IQ, so credit him for that. All this other nonsense you two are continuing to question with Hooker's age and his Coaches scheme, what difference does it make. His team smacked Nick Saban and the SEC. Translation, Hooker can play.
If you clowns bothered to read (Barnum & Bailey....really?), Brian Daboll has no problem with the scheme, which is why they took Hyatt. Heup's put more WRs in the league than any other coach over the last few years. I hate to break it to you NFL homers, but this style of football is exciting, and fans love it. Once you go there, your fans won't accept anything else. And Hendo impressed the NFL coaches with remembering his offense from Va Tech, as well. NFL has much less problem with Tennessee's scheme than the talking heads and their acolytes. You can call it gimmick all you like - now stop it. Simplicity is genius. Hendo is a smart guy with physical skills who plays with a chip on his shoulder. You could do MUCH worse. And HE'LL defend our O to anyone. And has.
I think HH is going to be a starting QB. He has the arm and the accuracy. His TD to interception rate is crazy good. He has the legs to run if he needs to. The only question is how well he can read the entire field but that was in part because of the way TN had their Offense set up. I think with the proper development, that he's going to be able to get sitting behind Goff for a year or two, the Lions could have their future QB in training
He could be the best player in the entire draft. I think he will be successful. I am a huge fan of older QBs coming out of college. They are almost always pro-ready. They hit the ground running. Underclassmen often get benched after playing like shit and they can't ever find their way back on the field.
He's gonna be better than Will Levis and perhaps even the best QB in the draft this year. And think about age: why does that really matter? Yeah he's playing against younger players but if he's a good quarterback he'll play for ten or fifteen years in the NFL. Not like he's likely to be with one team that whole time anyways. Mahomes played in a spread offense as well. He ain't Mahomes but I'm gonna come out and say that he's gonna be a top 2 quarterback in this draft at least.
I’d take this kid. Roger Staubach was a 26 year old rookie and he played for a decade. And if not for concussions, he could have played 5 more years. Of course this kid’s no Captain Comeback but I think he’ll develop. Good athlete. I like him in the 2nd Round, though.
RE: The age stuff at the end, doesn't that also apply to the defenders he was facing? Being 25 and playing against 19 year olds in a way different place in terms of mental maturity seems like an important factor
That's the only way it matters, really. It does not matter how old he is to the team at all beyond already maybe hitting his peak. If he's so amazing that one team wants to keep him until he retires, then he's already been an incredible success. If anything it's good, you get him through his absolute peak on a rookie deal.
I think Levis has a high ceiling, but lowest floor… Like Sam Darnold floor… I’d say lowest ceiling, but highest floor is Stroud. Just a safe pocket passer without the rushing upside of the other guys.
@Andrew Bracht agreed on stroud but I feel like Richardson has the highest ceiling in theory. People are kind of overstating how low his floor is in my opinion. He is raw but his offensive weapons were pathetic and so was his line so for someone that really doesn't know what he's doing yet I don't see why he can't have a Justin fields like season. Justin had like a 55 qbr and only threw for like 2200 yards but he posted a 1000 yard rushing season and I can see Richardson being that until he learns the position more. That being said I think Bryce will be the one to reach his ceiling more than levis or Richardson
Agree! That rushing and athleticism for AR elevates his floor and ceiling over all others in the class… but it also could shorten his shelf life… NFL and Fantasy values are just not the same for the QB position.
@@kylek7748 but Justin fields was prolific in college. He had like 3k yards 70% comp and 41/3 tds to ints one season and 2 of those picks were in the same game. Fields has a way better record as a passer. Richardson is super athletic no doubt but he has a big potential to bust. Gotta make throws in the nfl hopefully the colts get their o line to show up next year and JT can stay healthy and carry the ball 20+ times a game. JT and Richardson in a RPO would be fun to watch.
The red haired gentleman is extremely negative…he looks really calm in the pocket, no happy feet , eyes downfield. It’s like for positive he has a negative. He was a Heisman front runner for a reason guys.
People talk about the "Tennessee offense" and rightfully so but these same casuals will hype up Drake Maye who also plays in a "simplified" scheme and got shut down vs several ACC opponnents. To me the biggest knock on Hooker should be his age- I do not think teams should draft QB's older than 24 in the 1st round. I could see Hooker going to the Saints or Seahawks in the 2nd round.
Have you seen maye tape though? He would be the easy 1st pick. Also their big gripe was hooker showed little pocket movement and ability to make second reads, which maye has shown
Age doesn't matter. At all, beyond the fact that he's playing against younger men. And who else played in a gimmicky spread offense in college? Oh right, Patrick Mahomes. Not to say he's Mahomes, he's not, but I believe this kid can play.
Everyone is talking about his stats and knocking him for the offense he comes out of. Personally, I’d be way more worried about 22 fumbles in two seasons at Tennessee. That is a metric shit ton of turnovers and would need to be addressed.
Lol, the funny thing about the first 2 rounds of the draft, was everytime they showed the highlight plays of a defensive lineman, edge rusher or blitzing corner they were sacking Hooker! LMAO😂😅
IDK why its a discussion. First look at the stats then put the film on. watch the bama game an the florida game or any game you see a NFL QB. His tape looks better then any other QB in draft and so does his numbers. WHAT A STEAL IN THE DRAFT. Reminds me of Deshaun Watson but think he's a little better. SCARY
As a Tennessee fan that has watched every snap with him as QB, he’s a tough eval. The offense makes it tough, and he has some accuracy concerns; but he also processes well and throws a great deep ball with plus athleticism. Late 1st-Early 2nd sounds fair to me.
I wanted Defense but honestly I'd be very cool with this. Why are these other qb's rated higher? I know what they'll say - I would disagree. This guy will do just fine in the NFL and no immaturity issues. I feel kinda crazy saying this but he might be the best qb in this draft. Young might be better but his size could hurt him. Stroud is not better, Levis nope. Richardson would be fun not gonna lie. I'd be fine with him @ 23 I'd be over the moon if we got him in the 2nd.
Detroit babyyyyyy🎉🎉🎉🎉he’s so underrated atleast someone else sees
I’m excited, he easily could be a top 3 pick without injury. No idea why everyone hates on him with the offense. He’s a winner!
@@cwhit0110 exactly these people forgetting this man was damn near a Heisman Winner‼️‼️‼️

Lions let’s goooooo
The world will know who Hendon Hooker is, he's built for the Nfl, his time will come.
Deep ball for jameson williams..... brad has a plan
With the Lions backs and receivers, with or without Jamo (gambling suspension), watch for lots of play action.
Hendon Hooker is a top QB for me. He isn’t afraid of the pressure and has incredible accuracy deep. Plus, when he makes a mistake, he then makes up for it the next play.
Thank you.
Let's go Lions! Detroit Lions! One Pride! Nothing but Love, Peace, and Happiness!

In a year or two it a be different offense
The Lions will be in a good spot if Goff can keep playing like a pro bowl QB and Hooker can develop into an NFL caliber starter
He’s actually good, GO LIONS
Hendon is a great leader on and off the field. He is a great pick up for the Lions. I just wished my Falcons would have picked him up. Oh well ... I am still rooting for his success with the Lions.

brilliant breakdown of Hookers positives and negative
3rd round pick for the Lions….a major steal
You all forgot that he played for VT first and did well and they have pro style offense!
7:18 he had a great evade and step up in the pocket with jalen Carter in his face. The one example that comes to mind
Hendon hooker was Bette than every qb before injury
Phil Simms and Mike Martz Love Hooker what are these guys credentials
So if his arm strength is average than that Means Goff arm is below average right?
1. Hook has to throw the ball. 2 decision making is good. 3. Very little INTs. If what Tennessee did was so effective why isn’t everyone doing it? Hook has Size. Arm. Wheels. Smart’s.

Agreed especially with a vet like Goff and staff that's been at the highest levels 👌🏼
You talk about mobility, who could work with him any better than former Mr mobility Mark Brunnel Lions QB coach.
He's a JAG 3rd round pick.
Would've been drafted in first round if not for the injury so no not a jag
Great vid - was down on him because of the offense but now open to the idea that with some development he could hit
This was a perfect video. Perfect break down with clips to show, subscribed. Will be watching y’all a lot!

And his age brings mature so he will be ready to play as soon as he gets better!
my concern comes after the injury and if he will still be able to stand in the pocket without the fear of someone rolling into and over his legs. 😅
Which qb of the big 4 this year do you believe has the lowest ceiling?
Levis
