Hooker had a strong start to his third-team reps, hitting Kaden Davis on a bullet. However, he missed on his next two passes and faced heavy pressure from Mitchell Agude. His final pass was incomplete in the direction of Shane Zylstra.

Davis standing out
Kaden Davis began the spring as a tryout player at Lions’ rookie minicamp. He worked his way into a roster spot and has since taken full advantage of his opportunity.
Davis has consistently showed up in camp, making plays at all levels of the passing game. He runs crisp routes and has been reliable, a trait the Lions are key on in the receiver room.
“It builds my confidence, but that’s what I’m here to do so that’s just the expectation when the ball comes my way,” Davis told Lions On SI. “I’m supposed to make the play and come up big for my team.”
The wideout starred Thursday with multiple big catches, including a touchdown grab from Sudfeld in red-zone drills. He will be tasked with continuing to produce throughout camp and the preseason to make a compelling case to make the roster.
