If you don’t think that Hendon Hooker, a 25 year-old quarterback coming off a torn ACL, is worth a first round pick in the NFL Draft, prepare to have your mind blown. I dare you to watch this poorly shot video of Hendon Hooker slowly taking three steps backwards and then throwing a football to a guy running routes against air. All of the Hendon Hooker haters and doubters are literally crying and throwing up at the revelation that Hooker “feels great to be moving around again” and is relearning the most basic part of quarterbacking mere days ahead of the NFL Draft. The Hendon Hooker hype train is chugging along at a terrifying, unfathomable speed.

While the quarterback class in the 2023 NFL Draft was originally thought to be headlined by four consensus top prospects, Hooker has gained momentum later in the draft process and butted his way into consideration at the top of the draft. At this point, it would be a minor surprise if Hooker isn’t picked in the first round. Last year, Hooker exploded at Tennessee, keying one of the nation’s best offenses before tearing his ACL in late November—in 11 games, he threw for 3135 yards, 27 touchdowns and just two interceptions while adding another 401 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. He was the SEC Offensive Player of the Year and could’ve won the Heisman as well, if not for his injury and Tennessee’s late season slide.
