Most of the talk about the NFL Draft has been centered around the quarterbacks.
Everyone wants to know where each quarterback will end up, starting with the first overall pick.
Some names expected to be selected in the top 10 are Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, and Anthony Richardson.
But one quarterback seemingly flying under the radar is Tennessee product Hendon Hooker.
He is not being mentioned much in the first-round conversation, as many scouts believe he could be a day-two pick.
But, there has been plenty of interest in Hooker over the last few weeks.
His draft stock looks poised to skyrocket.
According to Ian Rapoport, Hooker is set to meet with the Lions, followed by the Buccaneers and Raiders.
#Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker, who is visiting the #Lions today, will spend the latter part of the week on visits with the #Bucs (No. 19) and the #Raiders (No. 7, No. 38). Both interesting potential landing spots.

All three of those teams are potential landing spots for any quarterback.
Each has a veteran in place for at least next season, but the starting job could be up for grabs in 2024.
Hooker was awesome in his final season at Tennessee.
In 11 games, he threw for 3,135 yards, 27 touchdowns, and two interceptions.
Those numbers were good enough to see him finish in fifth place in the Heisman Trophy voting.
Hooker has shown a strong ability to take care of the ball in college.
It will be interesting to see what teams want to take the plunge on Hooker within the first few rounds.
