The Tennessee Titans and Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker are reportedly set to have their pre-draft visit this week.
According to theScore’s Jordan Schultz, the visit between Hooker and the Titans is of a top-30 variety and will take place on Wednesday. It was reported last month that the two sides would eventually meet.
Hooker is one of the five-best quarterbacks in the 2023 NFL draft class but experts have projected him to go all over the place and anywhere from top five to the middle rounds.
Part of that has to do with the fact that Hooker is coming off a torn ACL, but the Tennessee product appears to be doing just fine in his recovery and is slated to be ready for the start of the 2023 campaign.

Hooker won SEC Offensive Player of the Year after compiling a stellar 27/2 TD-INT ratio for the Vols. He also rushed for 5 TDs this season.

The Titans are, at the very least, exploring their options to replace Ryan Tannehill this offseason, so Hooker is a realistic possibility. That said, I wouldn’t expect them to take a swing on him at No. 11 overall.
