Tennessee star Hendon Hooker and Florida's Anthony Richardson headed in significantly divergent directions in the newest 2023 NFL mock draft from NBC Sports' Peter King.
King had Hooker off the board at No. 12 to the Houston Texans, who used the second overall pick on Texas Tech edge-rusher Tyree Wilson. Richardson, meanwhile, fell all the way to the Minnesota Vikings at No. 23.
According to King, the Texans have "been doing work on Hooker in the last week or so."
If Houston were to select the Volunteers QB with Richardson still on the board, it might be considered a bit of a shock.
