When I heard Hooker was visiting Detroit I knew he would be coming our way. Honestly I think he's the biggest steal of the QBs in the draft. He's got an easy job right now, rehabilitate, study, and absorb everything. LETS GO!
Especially with how mobile he his. And the fact that our oline creates so many openings (that Goff never takes) we'll truly see this guy pop off once he's ready.
When I heard cj stroud was visiting the lions, I knew he was coming out way
Hendon lions perfect match
Perfect situation for both. Could be an elite backup or the heir to Goff
He has a canon. Throws a nice deep ball a fast receiver can go and run under it.
This guy makes me feel like the Lions are going to be competitive for the next decade. Can't wait till he proves the coaches right! #GoLions
Hooker has confidence. Easily seen by this interview. Comfortable, calm, talkative. I think hes going to have a bright future in the NFL.
Every single answer is genuine. His attitude is awesome!
I could listen to him answer questions and talk all day. Love his positive attitude. Great draft pick for us.
He is so much mature, seasoned and ready BECAUSE of his age, allowing him the experience and leadership! He is more ready at 25 than a 22 yr old draftee would be in 5 yrs!
You can tell by the way he talks too. It’s all natural and genuine. Nothing spoon fed, no generic answers he’s a grown up adult. I am so amped about this guy.
Ehhhhh….. Idk about that.
@@kmacadaeg7Watch his highlights
Don’t want to troll. But I really, really wanted my Raiders to draft Hendon Hooker. Hooker will be a super stud, & imo he’s the best QB in this draft. Lions got a super stud & I respect the Lions fan base. Both our franchises have been through a lot of storms. But Lions got a great coach, & building a SB team no doubt. Hendon Hooker will lead the Lions to a SB in next 3-5 years, BET. I’m glad the Lions got blessed with a future stud QB, and franchise QB. I just hope my Raiders don’t have to face Hendon Hooker come week 8. I just hope the Lions keep their coach, & understand the player that they got in Hendon Hooker. I’m jealous as can be, cause I know Hendon Hooker is a very special DUDE. Good luck to the Lions & Hendon Hooker. You guys deserve some blessings, as well as my Raiders, and much respect to the diehard Lions fans. See you week 8. RNFL 💯💪
Respect
Thanks brother! My best friend is a die hard Raiders fan as well. Hopefully both our teams do well this season!
A Raiders and VOLUNTEERS fan for over four decades! I've been witness to not only every play Hendon was involved in over the past two years, but his maturation, growth and dedication as well.
He's a Film junky, comes early and leaves late, absolutely beloved/respected by his teammates and coaches and- though he exudes an extraordinary amount of confidence- he's intelligent, well spoken, compassionate and humble.
Congratulations to the Lions' Management and Coaching Staff for doing their homework and securing an absolute gem of a player, QB, Leader and human being- I assure Detroit's fans will not regret this pick!
I can also assure you that many Raiders fans such as myself already regret it, lol!
I'll be following Hooker and checking out any Detroit games in which he plays! Will also be pulling for the Lions unless they are playing the Raiders. Hope you can respect that. ✌💀🖤🍊🧡
I agreed they did right with Wilson and Mayer but they should of grabbed drew sanders and hooker
Ok I’m really impressed by the way this young man carries himself. A true leader, wow. I think this is certainly the steal of the show!!!
It's noticable with every guy Brad and Dan pick
@@billherman7294 i was thinking the exact something. all these guys carry themselves with a lot of character
@@mattverville9227 It's different this time
The character showed by each of these draft picks this year is top shelf. Great players, great humans.
I’m excited this guys on our team. So much potential in him. Hopefully he will replace Goff one day. Right now Goff is playing lights out football and deserves to lead our team.
I slighty disagree as hooker has a tendancy to replace the starters of his teams he's been on. Especially with his upsides compared to Jared I'd say be 24 he'll be seeing field time.
I like this young man. He's going to develop. Get healthy, HH!
Man I’m so glad we got him , he’s gonna have a bright future with us
We might have us a gem right here. Dude has a GREAT attitude and man you gotta like hearing him speak and say all the right things. I don’t wanna get too excited but it’s hard not to. We’ll see about it. I’m pumped. These last 3 drafts have been unreal.
This guy sounds like he's been on this team for 10yrs. Already sounds like a legit leader.
I like the way this guy speaks and carries himself. Really seems like he has the tools and mindset to eventually become a great pro.
Dayum, the man is enjoying being in front of the media! I feel Hendon was a great pick up for the Lions, god forbid something happen to Jared, Hendon is going to be ready to lead the team! 😀
Great Addition to our Team!! Looking forward to seeing him play!
Facts
Only one pre season game !! So don't blink!!
@@jaynosowsky9708 that's a low estimate.
@@brospros6327 dam I was aiming high too!!!
@@jaynosowsky9708 not even that. IF we see him this year it wont be until the 2nd half of the season
seems like a very mentally capable guy, good for you lions fans, and best of luck to you hendon
I'm impressed 👏
He seems to a charismatic energy people would follow. Go Lions!
I LIKE WHAT HE SAYS AND IS DOING, ITS OUR YEAR. GO LIONS
Man I really like him go Detroit .I hope he is the next guy up to get us to the top .
“Red Shirt Year” is going to be very interesting. 👍🦁
And I love seeing these great young players wearing
The Detroit Lions gear!
Never thought I would ever witness something like this!
Great Attitude young Man, get healthy and Go to work. Enough said.
Excellent attitude.
Love this DUDE'S media responses!!!😍😍
Playing the game in my mind - Greatness
I’m really starting to like this guy.. seems very passionate about football.. and great character
Between this and rookie camp observations from the beat writers, Hendon is already getting players to notice his leadership skills. Sticking next to the QB coaches, eating up what they have to say, and hyping up teammates when they make a good play.
also, Man....Great Job Mr.Holmes you drafted the SEC player of the year in the 3rd, 40 plus tds and 4 picks in the SEC, the best conference in College.
Forward down the field
A charging team that will not yield....
and when the blue and silver wave
@@jotyde1871 stand and cheer the brave.... RAH RAH RAH!!!!!!
This gets me hyped for this dude. Future is bright in the D!
So impressed with this young man. You can see the maturity.
This man asked James on draft night to send him the formations.....thats dedication and hard work
Sharp, eager and humble. Can’t ask for much more.
Love this he can learn behind a vet let’s go excited to see him God bless
Love this kid wouldn’t be surprised to see him win the backup spot and possibly see the field in some way this year since the dude can also run
Future qb1 glad we drafted him
Yup, 1-3 years and the decision is on him recovering from this injury and getting to work. First get healthy and then get to work!
Doubt it
He won't Last 4 years as a backup...only way he starts is for another team. Stair down your one and only WR...not open !! Run with it!!! He runs he's gonna get hurt, that shit doesn't stick in the NFL. Look at all the Running QBs before him...garbage!!! Or short lived!!
@@jaynosowsky9708 you a lost cause FOH
@@jaynosowsky9708 Did someone play a prank on you and replace your period key with the exclamation one? Geez
Definitely QB 1 loading. Hopefully we can get some draft capital when we trade Goff.
Lmao
Smart young man!
I’m really starting to line this guy.. he speaks from the heart.. and he loves football.. keep moving forward my man
He reminds me of Deshaun Watson when he came out of Clemson for some reason .. he’s a bit more of a talker but idk something about him just reminds me of Watson? Damn he’s very comfortable with talking to the media .. very impressive in that regard alone!
Let’s hope he isn’t a fan of massage parlors
this young Man seams to have a good head on his shoulders. I Think the pick was a great value
Having Hendon Hooker drafted to Detroit really Detroit needs him to revitalize that city's sports so it makes perfect sense to draft Hendon Hooker. I can see Detroit getting a couple Super Bowls and NFC Championships with this guy
As a Tennessee fan I think ya'll are lucky to have Hendon, he's a true leader and leads by example!!!
Qb1 for sure!
Big facts
Lmao no
I really think he could end up one of if not the top QB in the draft. Strong arm, good under pressure with great pocket awareness, accurate, doesn’t turn it over, hard worker that never had a job given to him. The one knock is his college offense but he was productive in a pro style offense as a freshman sophomore.
I'm hoping Goff makes it hard for him to see the field but I'm very impressed with this young man and the future looks bright for the Honolulu Blue
I love his deep ball!
I bet you do
@@timnelcin8717 you do. Simp
said it before and will say it again, worst case is we have a long term good backup. best case is he turns out to be a solid to great starter and we have the future QB or turn a 3rd round pick into a bunch of good draft picks
Love this guy
Seems like a good kid. Rooting for him.
Love this guy.
I really like this kid. If he can stay healthy I can see him becoming the starter. Don't get me wrong I love Goff, he's great too, but his price tag is going to go way up.
💯. I think HH is our starter in 2024.
Great guy, winning attitude
Hooker is going to be a STUD
Love this guy!! Right OWN,BRUTHU!! GO LIONS!! 🙂
This guys sounds intelligent, disciplined and respectful. A leader of men in the making.
This Guy is special I am going to love watching him play for the Lions
Maz, Bill Simonson, & Ken Brown all have tighter pants watching this video.
I commend him for setting the record straight about him only reading half the field at Tennessee, and addressing his age as a positive. Reminding the press that he’s the SEC offensive player of the year was a mic drop moment!
If he gets back to 100% he has a real chance to be special, dude is a specimen
As a Vols fan, I will keep up with the Lions frequently to keep up with his progress. Can't wait to see him hit the field one day
You can tell he is a instant leader .. tell me the lions logo doesn’t look right on him ….zack Wilson take notes on what real confidence looks like .. what a steal in the draft ..
big arm and has some speed this could be interesting in a year or two. you know hes going to learn well behind JG too.
Jared Goff plays smart football. Perfect quarterback to learn behind.
Detroit got a real lion now and a new lions fan. Hendo is a legend
Sound smart as hell and mature love it
I hope he works out here in Detroit
You the man
I hope he’s ready for Preseason I want to see him take some reps in a game
Next year lol this is a redshirt year
No way he’s playing in pre season. I would be surprised if he suited up at all this season
@@JamesDunmore99 that’s silly he got hurt in November. Most ACLs ready now in 9 months plus he’s a QB. He should see the field sometime this year. Needs some reps.
@@sueyu3603 Dan Campbell literally said that he’s going to red shirt this year. ie, not play
"I'd like to be ready tomorrow I mean fuuuuck" :) get after it Hendon
Seems like he has a really good head on his shoulders. I can’t believe he fell all the way to where we got him. Dude would have been a Top 10 pick without his injury.
This man now has a chip on his shoulder Scary!!
14,000 views... Whew! These boys getting some attention. Love it.
I am SO GLAD they took him 3rd round. I wanted this guy prior to him getting hurt
Let's go Lions
Bright, dynamic, supremely talented young man! Hopefully, can be a great back up and take over in 4-5 yrs!
He has a history of taking the starting QB position. I'd say he's gonna be qb1 sooner rather than later.
It's not gonna be nowhere near 4-5 years. I'm betting starter in 2024
@@brospros6327 lmao
@@1RightTurnClyde lmao be prepared to be disappointed
@@silent1759Gobble, Gobble!
Safe to say the Lions have secured their QB of the Future
Someone said his floor was to be a high-quality backup and his ceiling was a very good starter. I think his ceiling might be playing at an elite level as Ruler of the NFC North for a decade. #OnePride
Good dude, nice backup for Goff
Detroit future looking real bright
He will have a Great Mentor in Goff !!!
Damn Impressive
IMPRESSIVE
Our Future Franchise QB💯🔥🦁
Won’t need that we already have a QB1 who fielded a top 5 offense
@@Jonathan-cz4ky oh no, he has to really really perform now, Hookers already better he's just injured, can run, his a big arm, he's already building chemistry with the team. Yeah Goff will be QB for the next few seasons, but Hendon is here to take over. I want u to remember this comment tho. I kno sports, this man will be a starting qb in this league. 💯🔥🦁
@@ronaldwilliams9635 100% agree
@@ronaldwilliams9635 not for the lions!
@@Jonathan-cz4ky Yes for the Lions, number 12 is a beautiful number, Someone else whose with a chip on their shoulder. Hendon is perfect for the Lions.
He wants Goff's job😂 bt u gotta love it...💪🏾🦁
He dropped an F bomb when asked when he will come back lol
This guy has his ego in check not that goff dont but he will adapt and bring a firey presense that we have needed for a long long time turn up Hendon we are faithuful in you my guy!!!
I’ve been saying this for the longest. The film does not lie. I’m disappointed in my Titans. I do hope it works out for us. I have no choice to hope it works. But I wanted Hendon so bad.
Next year trade Goff to SF for 2 #1, they will win a SB but we got next for years to come.
This guy is gonna be special... just wait for it
As a huge Tennessee fan and someone who has followed Hendon for years, I think the Lions are getting the best quarterback in the draft, in my opinion. The dude is so solid inside and out; it’s a rarity. Let’s go Lions; let’s go Hendon!
lions building something long term.
For the love of God, PLEASE do not extend/restructure Goff. His contract isn't guaranteed. I'd love to see Hooker be our starting QB in 2024...if not sooner. In all honesty, I was hoping like hell that we'd trade Goff before or during the draft for picks. Hendon Hooker is the real deal.
I love your optimism, but he still has some healing to do before his ACL is 100%. Let's not rush it. We're probably going to see him start in either 2024 or 2025 depending on how fast he learns the system. Their really is no rush as long as Goff doesn't regress!
@@danspanos I just don't want the Lions to extend Goff.
@@HoneysuckleRoseSmelledGreat don't put Hooker in the HOF just yet, let's see how good he is first!!
@@WRic86 didn't say anything about putting him in the HOF.
@@danspanos that’s basic. Most ACLs now heal in 9 months. Right therapy. And hooker got hurt in November. He should be ready by sept.
Can you see the day a couple years from now, we draft WR Orge from Michigan and see a TD pass from Hooker to Orgy in the end zone?
This guy can run the team when Goff can’t….seems like a great pick…love his personality
🗣️FILM DON'T LIE!!!!!👨🏾🍳🤌🏾
Call me crazy but I thought Hendon was the best QB in this.past draft. I saw good things and flaws with ALL Qb's but Hendon was my favorite of the group.
He's going to be a great back up to goff for the next 4 years
Wow. This kid is Special. Could you ask for a better 1st interview from your backup QB?
