Lions seeing growth from QB Hendon Hooker, 'one little step' at a time
Through the first three days of training camp, Hendon Hooker's growth has been evident.www.detroitnews.com
Nice paragraphs on Emmanuel Moseley
Moseley has been taking a majority of his reps in the slot through the first handful of days in camp and is well on his way to challenging for a starting role in a room that added two veterans and two rookies this past offseason.
"I got experience there, I played a little bit in San Francisco," he said. "Played a little bit, learned a lot…but I'm learning from guys that's out there right now, meeting with the coaches. Still got to learn, it's not an easy position to learn, but it's one that I know I can take."
The former Vol had an up-and-down spring, struggling at times during OTAs and minicamp.
It turns out there was a good reason for those struggles.
Hooker told the Detroit Football Network that he suffered a dislocated finger on his throwing hand during OTAs.
“A lot of people don't know, I dislocated my finger in OTAs,” said Hooker to Detroit Football Network. “I dislocated my finger in the first practice, so those OTAs, I couldn't control the ball like I wanted to. It was my ring finger. That's what's going on the laces. That's how I control the ball, even if other quarterbacks might not control the ball that way. That affected my ball a lot. So I'm trying to get back into my rhythm, ripping the ball.”
It’s felt like a lifetime since that awful night almost 2 years ago.Hendo to start. First action since injury. Hope he does great. Hyatt for the Giants.
