Dan Campbell doesn’t care much if the Detroit Lions clinch the …
Detroit Lions rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker has been enacted from off the Reserve/NFI list Tuesday evening, formally including the standout college QB to the dynamic program. The Lions opened Hooker’s hone window on Nov. 29.
Hooker was one of the leading quarterbacks in college football last year some time recently tearing his ACL within the Tennessee Volunteers’ penultimate diversion of the standard season. Tennessee was 2 wins absent from a tall chance at a CFP billet but fell to South Carolina and lost Hooker for the year in one fell swoop.
To create room, the Detroit Lions postponed kicker Riley Patterson, who was dormant for Week 15 against the Broncos by coach’s choice.
Hooker may be a exceptionally curiously quarterback prospect from the 2023 draft. For one, he hasn’t played in over a year and is drawing closer 26 a long time ancient. For another, his double danger capacity and precision downfield might be fair what the Detroit Lions require as its offense moderates somewhat heading into the ultimate diversions of the standard season.
Bounty of Lions fans on social media will tell you Hooker ought to begin as before long as conceivable. But in reality, that’s profoundly improbable for this season notwithstanding a total collapse from Goff. Or, damage. After all, Goff did fair toss for 5 touchdowns in a pleasant bounce-back win over the already surging Denver Broncos.
But let’s play devil’s advocate here, fair for kicks. Hooker’s dual-threat capacity seem sparkle in an offense with Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery and Amon-Ra St. Brown, particularly as the Lions’ O-line starts to urge sound once more.
Here’s a see at Hooker at full wellbeing:
