Dan Quinn looks for Austin Hooper to reach “another level” in year four

Austin Hooper turned himself into a key cog within Atlanta’s offense last season, serving as one of Matt Ryan’s most reliable receiving options with an 80.7% catch percentage. He excelled in his role, and parlayed his improved overall play into a Pro Bowl appearance.

Head coach Dan Quinn now expects even more from the one-time Stanford tight end turned third round draft selection in 2016, especially with former Falcons head coach Mike Mularkey at the helm as the new tight ends coach.

Hooper, the improvement just keeps getting better,” Quinn said “Now, he’s ready to go to another level, and I’m looking forward to seeing him make that growth.
