He tore his ACL in November and will need time to recover
Hendon Hooker was drafted by a Detroit Lions team that may not need him to take a snap this year.
Hooker tore the ACL in his left knee in November and will be given time to recover and develop behind veteran Jared Goff as perhaps the franchise’s quarterback of the future.
“I’m definitely going to be picking his brain,” the 25-year-old Hooker said after the deal.
Detroit had nine selections entering the NFL draft and took advantage of those assets Friday night, trading up in the second round, making two deals to move down in exchange for extra picks and another trade to acquire a third-round pick.
