The have reportedly made a decision for who their backup quarterback will be and it is none other than second-year signal-caller and former third-round pick, Hendon Hooker.According to , the Lions are waiving veteran quarterback Nate Sudfeld, who was Hooker's only Blank Jersey competition.This is at least somewhat surprising. Granted, Hooker outplayed Sudfeld in the two preseason games in which both played, but Sudfeld didn't see a single snap in the preseason finale, which made us believe he was at least safe.Not to mention, going into that game, head coach Dan Campbell revealed that the veteran had the "upper hand" in the competition with Hooker. He also stated there was a good chance the team Whit Merrifield Jersey keeps three quarterbacks.Source: The are releasing QB Nate Sudfeld, who has spent plenty of time as No. 2 QB. Now, it appears its Hendon Hooker who has won the job.Sudfeld has impre sed plenty in practice (without a ton of game reps) and will find his way into a practice squad, Brian Flynn Jersey at the least. Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) "You have to have conviction that whoever that (No. 2) guy is, is going to be able to keep this ship afloat and what we know about Hooker is, Hooker is a young, developing quarterback and he needs reps and he needs time," . "I do know Michael Saunders Jersey that. And Nate right now has the upper hand because hes played more. Hes been in it more, hes seen it more, he just and so with that, that would tell you theres a good chance you could keep three. Am I going to say that 100 percent certain right now? No. But thats kind of what you look at."While he's still a bit raw and has some work to do, there is absolutely no question that Hooker provides more upside than Sudfeld. Whether or not that means he can keep the ship afloat if Jared Goff gets hurt remains to be seen.Even though he's being cut, there's a good chance Sudfeld ends up back on the practice squad Willie Wilson Jersey . For now, it appears Hooker is the QB2 in Detroit.
