Former star Tennessee QB gets another chance in NFL

Tennessee has had a lot of success recently with former players in the NFL. James Pearce Jr. looks like he could win defensive rookie of the year. Jauan Jennings just had two receiving touchdowns on Sunday versus the Tennessee Titans.

Things have been going well for plenty of former Vols, but for a former star quarterback, it hasn't been going great. Former Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker has had trouble finding his footing in the pros.

In college, he racked up nearly 9,000 career passing yards. He also added 80 touchdowns and only 12 interceptions.
