For the past two offseasons, Hooper has spent time working privately with Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan to improve their chemistry and gain a better understanding of his teammate’s expectations. Unlike in 2017, when Ryan came to Hooper’s home state of California, the Falcons tight end stayed in Atlanta this year to continue their work together.
“If you want something, you’ve got to sacrifice something else,” Hooper said of the choice to stay and work with Ryan.
