They ranked all 32 prospective backup quarterbacks in the league and they don’t seem to have much faith in Detroit Lions’ backup Hendon Hooker in this one. Here’s the
It may be the offseason, but thanks to social media, our access to the Detroit Lions is never really turned off—at least not completely. And while social media and the internet as a whole can be certainly have their drawbacks, there are at least some positives that go along with it.
