Update: NFL Draft Scout Top 200 -- Hooker No. 3 QB, but plays Georgia

 As predicted, Tennessee's prolific Hendon Hooker keeps moving up the NFL Draft Scout Player ratings, maybe a lttle faster on our oversized Big Board, but going into this weekend;s Tennessee-Georgia game he already gained a lot of believers.

And the bandwagon will really load up if he does well at Georgia.  Yeah, that's a big if. 

This week Hooker jumped from No. 24 to No. 16, leapfrogging Kentucky  quarterback Will Levis, whom he beat head to head (OK, neither played defense). Levis actually dropped from No. 18 to No. 32 overall. 

   So, for now, Hooker is poised in the No. 3 quarterback spot behind only No. 2 overall C. J.  Stroud (Oho State) and No, 3 Bryce Young (Alabama).  If Hooker treats the Dawgs the same way he has others, pro scouts will give serious consideration to Hooker being in the same conversation with Stroud and Young, whose ratings were boosted from the start when they entered college as five-star recruits. 

 Hooker, a mere four-star recruit and the No. 33-ranked  quarterback coming out of high school, convinced pro scouts if his pro potential this season by completing 156 of 220 passes for 2,338 yards with 21 touchdowns and only one interception. He also ran for 418 yards and four more touchdowns.

   Alabama's menacing linebacker, Will Anderson, remains entrenched as the No. 1 overall prospect. But there were a couple of notable moves at the top of the list with Notre Dame tight end  Michael Mayer going from No. 8 to No. 5 and Clemson defensive end Myles Murphy jumping from No. 21 to No. 11.

   Hooker's top target, wide receiver Jalin Hyatt continues to climb, going from No. 49 to No. 20. He vaulted from low round or even free agent status when  he caught five touchdowns against Alabama three weeks back. The 6-0, 188-pound prospect caught 45 of 58 targets this season for 907 yards -- almost 400 after the catch -- and 14 touchdowns. He dropped one pass, in the season opener. He was forgiven at some point during the game against Alabama. 

    Again, it will be interesting to see how Hooker and Hyatt do in one of this week's big games, against Georgia

     Below is a look at NFL Draft Scout's top 200 -- for now
