One of the more exciting parts of the offseason will be finally getting to see what the Detroit Lions have in quarterback Hendon Hooker. The Lions selected Hooker in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft knowing that most of his rookie season was going to be redshirted due to his recovery from a torn ACL. Eventually, Hooker was promoted to the 53-man roster, but he only served as the gameday emergency quarterback, and the media has yet to even see him take a full practice.
To be clear, Hooker is not expected to challenge for the starting job.
