The full breakdown
Hooper made the most of his targets in the passing game, highlighted by a clean release into the flat off a rub for a five-yard touchdown late in the first half (Q2 01:02). His run blocking proved to be a mixed bag across 11 snaps, starting poorly when he whiffed on an edge block against Cox that yielded a tackle for loss (Q1 11:03). However, he rebounded well in the second half, executing a reach block to pave the way on a nine-yard perimeter toss (Q3 00:28) and delivering a clean kickout sift block on duo (Q4 08:11). Combined with a routine special teams block, these positive flashes offset the negative play to earn a 66.9 grade.
