Do you miss Austin Hooper yet? If you replied, “no,” fair enough. The former Falcons tight end’s departure was, in a word, “controversial.” While some Falcons fans saw it as an eventuality and weren’t too heartbroken, others thought it was a mistake. The Falcons won’t know whether it was the right decision for a year or two, but the addition of Hayden Hurst is at least intriguing on paper. The problem is who will play behind Hurst.
The tight ends on the current Falcons roster not named Hayden Hurst have a 11 combined catches and 1 receiving touchdown in the NFL.
