The Falcoholic on Austin Hooper

Hooper's versatility gives him the edge in tight end competition for second role.

Hooper's return from injury has created a tight end competition with Charlie Woerner for the second tight end role opposite Kyle Pitts in the Falcons' anticipated 12-personnel scheme. The source describes Hooper as 'the most well-rounded tight end in the room,' suggesting he has the edge in versatility; with Keven Stefanski's hire, the team is expected to lean heavily on two-tight-end packages, and 'it seems that it would be Hooper's job to lose' despite Woerner's superior blocking and lower cap hit.
