Hendon Hooker

Lions GM Brad Holmes said that if Hendon Hooker wants to be the No. 2 quarterback, “then win the No. 2 quarterback job.”

It’s not exactly a glowing endorsement of the behind-the-scenes development from Hooker. The 2023 third-round pick appeared in three games in which the Lions scored 49 or more points last season, completing 6-of-9 passes for 62 yards. It sounds like Kyle Allen (and potentially Jake Fromm) will push him for No. 2 duties this offseason.
