Hendon Hooker’s Touching Farewell (The Player's Tribune article written by Hendon Hooker)

HH is on the field at Hard Rock on his crutches, wearing his jersey, watching and encouraging Bazooka Joe every step of the way, Ilamaleva is on the field as well sporting a number 8 jersey

Thank you Hendon. You gave your all and you will recover and succeed in the NFL! Best Vol moment of my life was basking in the warmth of that Bama victory. You were right about Chase McGrath, but you forgot about yourself and the determination you had in your team. I knew we had 15 seconds. I knew we had you and I knew we had McGrath to finish it off. No doubt in my mind that the game was already won!

He is going to be a big favorite and loved forever by the fans of this school...I am so proud he choose to be a VOL and he will forever be a VFL...Thank You Hendon from the bottom of our hearts for the excitement you brought back to this team and fanbase.

I’d love to see Dobbs and Hooker playing for Titans next season.
They are both special.

Go VOLS

Great to read this before the game tonight. Could not be more proud.

“We’re about to get you that bowl win, Hook.”

Damn all of a sudden my eyes are leaky. We gotta win this one for Hook.

Such a great human being. Also a really talented QB who is very very intelligent. I’ll just have to become a fan of the nfl team he lands on no matter who it is.

And is with his team tonight.

Hooker is absolutely one of the best QBs to ever play for us. Hell of a dude, too.

I think Tennessee needs to retire Hendon’s jersey next year.
