4 years agoIn an interview with NFL Network, new Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst called his situation the perfect fit. The 27-year-old was traded to Atlanta from Baltimore earlier this offseason after notching 30 receptions, 39 targets, 349 yards, and two touchdowns last season with the Ravens. His role on Baltimore decreased in 2019 with the emergence of Mark Andrews. On his new squad, Hurst is considered the TE1 after Austin Hooper departed for Cleveland in free agency. He has the opportunity to see a decent number of targets in this Matt Ryan-led offense that features Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley as the top two pass-catchers. After that, there is no proven third pass-catcher. Hurst can be considered a low-end TE1/high TE2 with much upside if his role becomes big.--Rishi Patel - RotoBaller
