Hendon Hooker steps up in camp after receiving major message from Dan Campbell

The Detroit Lions have certainty at the starting quarterback position, but everything is still firmly up in the air regarding who backs up Jared Goff in 2025.

During training camp and preseason games, the pressure will be on Hendon Hooker and Kyle Allen to show that either belong behind Goff, ready to be called upon first if crisis should strike during the 2025 season.

Being he was a 2023 third-round pick, the decision makers are clearly rooting for Hooker. That was evident in Dan Campbell's message to his quarterback as training camp kicked off, where he revealed the franchise encouraged him to step up and improve before the offseason.
