7 TE prospects the Falcons could target to replace Austin Hooper

Here are seven possible replacements for Hooper in the 2020 NFL draft that Atlanta could consider if the can’t retain its Pro Bowl tight end.

Jacob Breeland — Oregon

Jaime Valdez-USA TODAY Sports

2019 Stats: 26 catches, 405 yards, 6 TDs

Projection: Rounds 3-5

Analysis: Breeland’s season was cut short due to a leg injury, but prior to going down, he was a focal point of Oregon’s offense. He can get open, has solid hands and has proven to be a viable red zone option. Beeland had six touchdown catches in just six games in 2019. He’s not as NFL ready as some of the other prospects on this list, nor is he a physical blocker, but he could be an instant receiving threat for Atlanta in 2020.
