Austin Hooper Putting In Work With Ryan Tannehill
2 years agoTennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper made it his personal mission to develop chemistry with quarterback Ryan Tannehill since joining the team. The two have put in extra work during downtime in practice and they are in constant communication after repetitions during team and 7-on-7 periods. Tannehill has complimented Hooper's savvy route-running ability and quickness that helps him get open. With receiver A.J. Brown now in Philadelphia, there will be extra targets to go around in the offense in 2022. Since Tannehill took over as the starter in Week 6 of 2019, 24% of his targets have gone to tight ends, and he's thrown 25 of his 76 touchdowns to TEs. Hooper was a big disappointment in two seasons with the Browns after back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons in Atlanta in 2018 and 2019, but he could rebound in his first year in Tennessee as a TE2 with upside.
