Similar vein, what's Hooker's pro outlook? I was very impressed with the deep ball and accuracy, but isn't Heupel's system predicated on quick reads and looks?
Just curious what Vols think he could do in the League.

I guess we’ll see. I think he does have pretty good awareness in the pocket.

Heupel system also had a lot of long passes on the outside to open up the defense, and he did those well. I am curious about Vol and Gator fans opinions because i am a Carolina fan and we are talking about taking Anthony Richardson at 9 rather than HH in the early second. Seems crazy to me because i think AR sucks and is a quitter.

I'm no VOLS fan but I don't see Hooker making it in the NFL. Heupel's offense doesn't translate to the NFL and he doesn't have to go through progressions as much as an NFL QB will - plus Hooker is over-aged at 25 so his development ceiling is likely lower as well.

A big question for him in the league will be can he scramble-to-throw rather than scramble-to-run.
I'm unsure if Josh coached him this way or if it's just his natural instinct, but Hooker very rarely would scramble with the intention of throwing. If he took off, 99% of the time it was to pickup yards with his legs. That can work in college, but he ain't gonna last long trying that in the NFL.

Game manager.
He will need to get more aggressive.
He has a lot of the tools, though.
But he is behind the 8 ball in terms of running an NFL offense.

Limited at best. He’s just not mechanically sound. He tends to lose himself (bad footwork, bad mechanics, hold the ball too long, indecisive) under pressure. He will need to fill out a bit and dedicate himself fixing himself to be more than a flash in the pan. Heupel was able to win with him and someone will take a chance with him based on his size (6’4) and arm, but I just don’t see it.
