Don't forget about the potential impact newcomer Austin Hooper can have on the Titans offense, writes JustinM_NFL. Here's why he's a player to watch. FrontOffice33 | TitanUp
was the big offseason acquisition at receiver, but Woods continues to rehab from last year’s torn ACL injury. Woods’ progress has been extremely promising and the former Los Angeles Ram appears well ahead of schedule, but he’s still a 30-year-old receiver coming off a serious injury.
Hooper was once an extremely productive pass-catcher. Across two seasons as a Falcon , Hooper accounted for 146 receptions, 1,447 receiving yards, and 10 touchdowns while thriving in Atlanta’s pass-happy offense. Hooper parlayed that success into a four-year, $44 million deal with the Browns. Hooper found himself in a run-first offense while sharing tight-end duties with Njoku.
Hooper also brings one underrated element to Tennessee’s offense. Titans fans worried about the offense becoming more predictable following’s departure in last year’s free agency period. Although Smith didn’t live up to the hype in New England, those concerns proved to be accurate as Tennessee missed Smith greatly. Firkser was a wide receiver disguised as a tight end. His backupIn short, Firkser couldn’t block and Swaim couldn’t catch. It made Tennessee’s offense awfully predictable.
The Titans also missed Smith in the end zone after he scored nine touchdowns in 2020. A consistent red-zone threat that stands at a towering 6-foot-4, Hooper has secured 23 touchdowns in six professional seasons. Hooper could immediately become Tannehill’s favorite target in the ever-important red area.
Hooper is an underrated tight end that’s capable of taking up a starring role in Tennessee’s new-look offense. Question marks continue to surround Tennessee’s offensive personnel. Much remains undecided, but Hooper possesses every trait necessary to experience a successful campaign in 2022.
