Profile

Summary:Hooper only has two years of game action under his belt, but he showed the type of impact he can have on a team as an immediate contributor in 2014 and with his six-touchdown 2015 season to help Stanford to a conference championship.

According to his NFL.com draft profile, Hooper has the flexibility to either play inline or as the move tight end, which could be a selling point for teams. He demonstrates the ability to move in traffic, has enough speed to create quick separation from defenders and is also a good blocking option.

Stacking up: NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock ranked Hooper second-best of this year's tight end prospects before the combine.

"Austin Hooper is really a very sophisticated route runner," Mayock said. "[He's] very much like a [Eagles tight end] Zach Ertz, who went in the second round, or like a [Colts tight end] Coby Fleener, from Stanford."

Football family: Hooper's father, Michael, was a standout defensive end for San Diego State in the mid-1980s, and his uncle, Greg, was a fullback at Stanford from 1979-1982.
