Cleveland Browns TE Austin Hooper is slated for a less blocking and a larger role in the team’s passing game this season, according to report from a team beat writer Friday, Aug. 13. ‘We’re going to grow his role,” Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said recently. ‘He really understands now in Year 2 how we plan to use him, and again, I do believe his role can grow.’ The key, the article said, will be developing more chemistry in Year 2 with QB Baker Mayfield.
