For the second year in a row, Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper will appear in the Pro Bowl.
Falcons TE Austin Hooper told me he’s headed to Pro Bowl practices tomorrow with George Kittle of the 49ers headed to the Super Bowl. Hooper was a second alternate. Would be his second Pro Bowl.

In December, Hooper was named a Pro Bowl alternate, which essentially means if the player at your position ahead of you makes the Super Bowl or drops out, you’re in.
