Jake Haener Visiting Lions on Pre-Draft Visit

In this story:
The Detroit Lions are doing their due diligence at the quarterback position ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft.
All Lions can confirm that Fresno State quarterback Jake Haener will be visiting Allen Park for a top-30 pre-draft visit next week.
According to NFL Draft Bible, "Haener throws with good anticipation and is very aggressive. His best trait is his off script ability. He does a good job keeping his eyes and excels with ball placement while on the move. Additionally, pocket awareness and mobility are outstanding which allows him to extend plays and give himself throwing lanes. As a result, he can maneuver the pocket like a magician. Moreover, he has shown the ability to make full field progressions and overall is a good processor. He has shown elite competitive and physical toughness at the QB position. Haener displays excellent poise and makes clutch plays when it matters. Finally, he has a gunslinger mentality and continually looks for the big play but will also take a check down when needed."
Hendon Hooker and C.J. Stroud are also conducting official visits with Detroit, which is seeking to find the right signal-caller to potentially develop under veteran Jared Goff.
The #Lions are bringing in Fresno State QB Jake Haener, the Senior Bowl MVP, for a top-30 visit next week.
