His name has become common when collegiate athletes sign new NIL contracts. Early in the 2021 season, Hooker took over as the Tennessee Volunteers&#8217; starting quarterback and has not looked back while leading the offense to impressive results.<\/p>\n<p>Hendon Hooker&#8217;s on-field brilliance eventually led to NIL deals. In November, Hooker announced an agreement with Gopher Inc. on Instagram, adding yet another endorsement arrangement to his expanding portfolio.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed hidden-lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/twitter\">\n<div class=\"tweet-outer-container\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"tweet-container\">\n<div class=\"tweet-body\">Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker has reached an NIL-deal with French&#8217;s Mustard. <\/p>\n<p>The brand has created a one-of-a-kind sneaker for Hooker based on the condiment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tweet-images-container images-count-1\">\n<div class=\"tweet-image-summary\" style=\"padding-bottom: 66.67%;\"><noscript><\/noscript><img class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/4f3e8-16815185633275-1920.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/4f3e8-16815185633275-1920.jpg?w=720 720w ,https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/4f3e8-16815185633275-1920.jpg?w=840 840w, https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/4f3e8-16815185633275-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w , https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/4f3e8-16815185633275-1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 720w,(max-width: 420px) 840w,(max-width: 600px) 1200w, 1920w\" alt=\"View image on Twitter\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/04\/4f3e8-16815185633275-1920.jpg\" bad-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20360%20240%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/osmattmurschel\/status\/1588581962238889985\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Tweet\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"app-tweet-blockquote\"><p>Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker has reached an NIL-deal with French&#8217;s Mustard.

Teams are conducting due research on a player who, at 25, has a unique prospect profile. Add to this the realization that Hooker is recovering from an ACL tear that prevented him from taking part in almost all of the on-field testing before the draft.<\/p>\n<p>Hendon Hooker played for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/team\/virginia-tech-hokies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Virginia Tech<\/a> for four seasons before moving to Tennessee for his last two. Hooker occasionally excelled for his team, but the offense he was a part of lacked imagination and the coaching was not the finest. Hooker went for long stretches at Virginia Tech and Tennessee without throwing an interception.<\/p>\n<p>Some organizations will be concerned about his age and injuries. However, Hooker is a model, a die-hard football fan and a player who keeps improving. He should still make it to the first round.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed hidden-lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/twitter\">\n<div class=\"tweet-outer-container\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"tweet-container\">\n<div class=\"tweet-body\">Former <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Vols\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Vols\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">#Vols<\/a> QB Hendon Hooker continues to get major love and is climbing up those draft charts.
