The Atlanta Falcons traded a second-round pick to the Ravens for tight end Hayden Hurst shortly after Austin Hooper signed a monster deal with the Browns. While still unproven after just two NFL seasons, Hurst has the kind of skill-set to become a big part of Dirk Koetter’s offense.
Hooper thrived last year and Hurst should have every opportunity to show he can play in 2020. It’s also not the worst situation for the 2018 first-round pick, as gets to play on the same field as Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and Todd Gurley.
Speaking with Falcons reporter Kelsey Conway, Hurst discussed the trade and what he thinks he can bring to Atlanta. Check the video out below, as shared by the team’s Twitter account:
