' I see a Super Bowl winning quarterback' K.J. Wright sees Hendon Hooker as ‘a home run’ pick for Seahawks at No. 5
“There’s this guy that I watched all season long,” Wright said. “SEC Offensive Player of the Year, comes from a football background, plays quarterback, [and is] coming off an ACL injury. When I look at the quarterback from the Tennessee Vols: Henderson [sic] Hooker.
“Gee, if the Seahawks take this man at pick number five, this will be a home run. I look at this man, I see aI had to double check and Hendon Hooker’s first name is actually Alan and there’s no Henderson in his name, so this is just K.J. misspeaking a couple of times. Hooker threw for an incredible 58 touchdowns to just 5 interceptions in his two seasons running Tennessee’s spread offense, and in 2022 he was a Heisman Trophy contender pretty much up until the loss to Georgia. There are concerns about his adjustment into the NFL from Josh Heupel’s spread offense, which is extremely quarterback-friendly but isn’t a system that necessarily translates well at a pro level.
Needless to say, even if Hooker goes in Round 1, there’s pretty much no chance he’s going in the top-10, never mind to No. 5 in Seattle. Maybe there’s a chance at No. 20 or with one of the second-round picks, but not that high.
