Superstar tight end Austin Hooper is one of the biggest prizes of free agency. He's been linked to a number of teams. That includes the only team he's played for so far in the NFL, the Atlanta Falcons.

However, he's also been linked to the Washington Redskins and the Green Bay Packers. Lately, it's the Packers that have been gaining traction.

And according to Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com, Hooper commented on the Packers. Specifically, he commented on head coach Matt LaFleur and quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

“When he was a coach in Atlanta, I really liked Matt LaFleur as a person,” Hooper said. “I wasn't a quarterback, so I couldn't really see his coaching style as much. But he definitely helped me out as a younger player. For that, I'll always be grateful. He's a good guy; really likable person.”

“One of the greatest to do it, for sure,” Hooper said of Rodgers. “Definitely a first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback. I mean, I can't say enough good things about the guy. Some of the things he does, I don't think anyone else in the league can do. I'm not saying anything revolutionary here. I really like his style and how he carries himself. He's just got a swagger about him where he's cool, calm, and collected. He always has an answer for what's happening.”

While this does not mean that Hooper is definitely headed to the Packers, it's a good sign for them. Clearly, the tight end would be very happy with LaFleur as his head coach and Rodgers as his quarterback.

It's hard to blame him too. LaFleur looked great in his first season as a head coach in 2019, and already has a history with Hooper. Meanwhile, Rodgers is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time and hasn't shown much in the “slowing down” category.

If Hooper does indeed end up in Green Bay, it seems like he'll be happy. And he could be that extra piece that gets them back to the Super Bowl.
