New England Patriots tight end Austin Hooper is channeling his inner “Thornton Melon“ this week by tangentially heading “Back to School.”
Hooper, as revealed on Monday, will be the Pats’ lone representative in the 2025 class at Tight End University. The three-day event, held in Nashville, TN, will be a workout summit, organized by George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs and retired NFL legend Greg Olsen.
Founded in 2021, the University allows some of the League’s top tight ends to engage each other during workouts, film study and rehabilitation.
