The guy's 24. He will be entering the NFL at an age when many would be negotiating a 2nd contract.
I think he would benefit from staying another year, but I completely understand why he might not.
At some point it's just time to enter that next phase of your life.
Just for the record, I don't think he has NFL arm strength... his medium/deep throws have a tendency to flutter. But I'm just a schmuck sitting on my couch cheering for the Vols, what do I know?
I can’t link a social media post, but this is making the rounds.
May seem a little silly, but if he’s on the fence, seeing how much fan support he truly has may sway him.
I say we make it happen.
Sorta Like they done with Erik Berry. lol can remember Berry riding a bike on the sidle line and fans along that side of the field was chanting 1 more year.I can’t link a social media post, but this is making the rounds.

Agree. That being said on arm strength I think is countered with his undeniable poise, mobility and most importantly, his accuracy. Regardless of when he enters the draft or where he is drafted, he will get his chanceThe guy's 24. He will be entering the NFL at an age when many would be negotiating a 2nd contract.

Chad Pennington made a lot of NFL money without the strongest arm. I will be rooting for Hendon whatever he decides.Agree.

Let’s be honest, we don’t really want Hooker back because it might help him in the draft. We want him back because our football team will be much better with him here than without. That’s what is important to us. We grow up wanting UT to win college games. These kids grow up wanting a chance to bet on themselves and have a shot at the NFL. Shooters shoot, right? I say let Hendon shoot. He has an opportunity none of us dreamed of after 6th grade. If Heup can get Hooker into the NFL after just one season, Hooker wins and UT wins because we can sell that in recruiting.
* Don’t @ me with your ‘I really do want what’s best for the player’ unless you can back that up with how you wanted what’s best for JG, Maurer, Shrout, Milton, Bailey, Salter, all the Pruitt transfers, etc. It’s ok to say ‘I just want what’s best for UT.’ Just own it.
One more year for Velus...Brandon might want to stick around! Tennessee's Velus Jones displays his 'special gift' in rout of Jaguars
