Austin Hooper is a traditional in-line Y-tight end with the size and receiving skills to thrive in a West Coast timing or spread RPO offense that features TE targets.
Year 1 impact as a receiving threat up the seam, eventually developing into a reliable chain-moving target and red-zone threat.
A run-heavy power-gap scheme where he would be asked to consistently block defensive ends and linebackers.
Hooper's athleticism and receiving prowess make him a valuable asset in schemes that prioritize passing to the tight end, though his blocking will need development.
Selected #81 overall in Round 3 of the 2016 NFL Draft by Atlanta Falcons out of Stanford.
