Hooper feels confident in his understanding of the offense despite missing three weeks of organized team activities while he finished classes at Stanford, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Hooper noted that it was quite the learning curve at the outset, but he finally feels that he's got a good grip on the offense, a sentiment echoed by head coach Dan Quinn, who said he doesn't feel like Hooper is behind. If he can prove his knowledge of the offense and shine in the preseason, Hooper could cement himself as the top tight end in Atlanta.
