The Atlanta Falcons have a gem in Austin Hooper. He’s just fun to watch. Whether he’s dishing out filthy stiff-arms at Soldier Field or going airborne on his way to the end zone, Hooper is one of a kind.
A third round pick in the 2016 NFL draft, Hooper has rounded out nicely. When compared to his tight-end counterparts in 2018, he was top 10 in receptions, yards and touchdowns.
His final stats for the 2018 season were 71 receptions for 660 yards and 7 touchdowns. Very solid numbers.
The attention that Julio Jones, Mohamed Sanu and Calvin Ridley attract is key to Hooper’s success.
