2023 Fantasy Outlook
Hawkins was a full-time starter for the first time in his career in 2022, posting 84 tackles, six pass defenses, two interceptions and a defensive touchdown. The 2020 fourth-round pick is in the final year of his rookie deal and may move back to a rotational role after the addition of safety Jesse Bates this offseason. Hawkins also could remain a prominent piece in the Falcons secondary by moving to a slot role, but Mike Hughes is the early frontrunner for that position. Read Past Outlooks

SNew England Patriots
March 21, 2024
Hawkins has agreed to a one-year deal with the Patriots, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hawkins split the 2023 regular season with the Falcons (six games) and Chargers (10 games) en route to combining for 14 tackles in that span. The 2020 fourth-rounder did rack up 84 tackles and two picks for Atlanta in 2022, but with the Patriots, Hawkins figures to serve as a depth safety behind Jabrill Peppers and Kyle Dugger.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2020
Hawkins appeared in 14 games last year and totaled 24 tackles, three pass deflections and two interceptions. The 2020 fourth-round pick is expected to be the Falcons' top nickel defender, but if Erik Harris (pectoral) isn't 100 percent by Week 1, it's possible Hawkins enters the 2021 campaign as the Falcons' starting free safety.
The Falcons love Hawkins' versatility. He is a 6-foot-2 safety who played with physicality while defending the run at Cal, and he also recorded 10 interceptions over his final three seasons. Coming from Pac-10 play and having an abbreviated rookie offseason certainly ups the learning curve for Hawkins initially, but he will have the benefit of studying behind veteran talents like Ricardo Allen, Damontae Kazee and Keanu Neal.
