There isn’t a classic bonafide No. 1 quarterback prospect in the 2023 NFL Draft, but there is plenty of talent and potential. How does FB_FilmAnalysis rank the top five passers this year? And what's the biggest concern for each of those signal-callers?
Hooker is getting first-round buzz because teams arewith him as a person and he had unreal college production. In his two seasons at Tennessee, he threw 58 touchdown passes to only five interceptions, ran for another 10 touchdowns and completed nearly 70 percent of his passes. However, he’s 25 years old, he’s coming off an ACL injury, and he played a unique offense that doesn’t translate to the pro game and might have ingrained some bad habits.
From a traits perspective, Hooker is intriguing. He has a big arm, deep accuracy, the strength to rip away from tackles and the speed to hurt defenses with his legs. What makes his evaluation tricky is that he played in an offense that featured “deep choice” as its bread-and-butter concept. In this style of offense, one receiver runs deep and has several options to adjust his route based on what the defense does.
At Tennessee, after Hooker checked the safety rotation, he would lock on to the receiver running the deep choice route. He couldn’t throw with much anticipation because he had to wait for the receiver to make a decision. This meant that he didn’t have many pure progression plays and sometimes stood like a statue in the pocket waiting for the route to develop.Hooker faces a long developmental curve, and he’s coming off an ACL tear he suffered in November 2022.
