The Detroit Lions make their class even more interesting by pulling the trigger on a potential franchise signal caller with the selection of Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker.
A dynamo during his two-year stint with Tennessee, Hooker made the most of the starting opportunity he was given after transferring from Virginia Tech. In those two seasons with the Vols, Hooker was one of the best quarterbacks in the entire country, tossing 58 touchdowns to just five interceptions during that span. Hooker was a Heisman candidate who took full advantage of the Tennessee offense before going down to a torn ACL.
