Brad Holmes finally did it, even though he probably didn’t mean to do it. The Detroit Lions general manager has at long last given us the potential to have a good, old-fashioned quarterback controversy — if not this season, then certainly the next. All thanks to Holmes’ bold decision to select Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker in

Brad Holmes appears to now be 3-for-3 in putting together good drafts, at least based on Next Gen Stats numbers for this year’s group.
