It was a long wait for Hendon Hooker, but it was always going to be worth it. The Detroit Lions traded up for the 68th pick of the draft and chose the Tennessee quarterback with their third-round selection. Hooker's final season with Tennessee ended in disappointment when he tore an ACL Nov. 19 against South Carolina. He established himself at Tennessee, where he threw for 58 touchdowns and 6,080 yards. The Lions have also drafted running back Jahmyr Gibbs (12), linebacker Jack Campbell (18) and tight end Sam LaPorta (34).
