Well that’s something: NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that the New Orleans Saints are flying in Tennessee Volunteers quarterback Hendon Hooker for an official visit on Tuesday, making him one of the 30 prospects in the 2023 NFL draft that the Saints are allowed to host for private meetings at the team facility in Metairie.
You’d think the Saints wouldn’t be interested in drafting another quarterback highly after signing Derek Carr to a massive contract in free agency, but they designed that contract with an exit ramp just two years into the four-year deal. If Carr doesn’t meet expectations, it could be worthwhile to have an experienced backup quarterback ready to go in the near future.
