Awesome! Hooker making his way up!

CONGRATS HENDO!!!!

He balled out in the 3rd preseason game. Won the job with that performance. Milton pretty much sucked in his 3rd preseason game. He is destined for 3rd QB and practice squad.

Hendon's image should now include that annoying beep beep beep sound of a Brinks truck backing up.

This was something I think was assumed to happen by most people. I still don't think CDC really likes the idea of Hendon having to come in and win games at this level just yet* but he's shown enough to be where he is now.

*I put this somewhere else before but Hooker didn't take his first official practice snaps as a Lion until the end of November last year and had a dislocated finger on his throwing had for this spring's OTAs. He's still quite green really.

So happy for Hendon, definitely a VFL I’d love to roof for in the NFL no matter the team

 

[DirtyDawg]

Good for him! He might do very well in Detroit!

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Cool! in 3 years, Huepel and staff have managed to help put two QB's in the NFL! Not bad!

 

[Mustng959]

Good to hear for Hooker! Joe is locked in with the Pats, Hooker with Detroit as a backup and looks like Josh might get to stay with SF. A good day for Vol quarterbacks!

 

[Volador]

Never in doubt

 

[Orangethumb]

Not surprised but it's great to see our players making teams in the NFL.

Congratulations to Hooker and I predict that he will be starting for Detroit in 2025.

 

[Boston Vol]

Congratulations to Hooker and I predict that he will be starting for Detroit in 2025.

Unless Goff gets injured, he’s going to be the starter. Not only is he a top ten QB in the league, but he also signed a $212 million extension this spring.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Congrats to Hendon! Hopefully he continues working his way into a starting position.

 

[VOLience]

Congrats to Hendon! Hopefully he continues working his way into a starting position.

Wish my Raiders would trade for him...unless Goff is injured Hendon won't see my playing time.

 

[EZE]

This is great for HH. He must’ve shown some real potential to move up to #2 in what is essentially his first season. This could set up very well for him in a few years.

 

[Volnuck]

Very happy for Hendon, he deserves this after all of his hard work to not only recover from a terrible injury, but then to get into playing shape good enough to make an NFL roster. Praying for him to stay healthy and have the opportunity to play some and continue to impress the coaches.

 

[JohnWardForever]

Proud for Hendon. One of the really good guys.

Good for him! He might do very well in Detroit!
