Hageman was considered one of the top defensive tackle prospects for the 2014 NFL Draft.[7][8] He was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the second round, 37th overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.[9] In his rookie season, he recorded 16 total tackles and one sack.[10]

In the 2015 season, Hageman recorded 27 total tackles and one sack.[11]

In the 2016 season, Hageman recorded 18 total tackles and two sacks.[12] At the end of the 2016 season, Hageman and the Falcons reached Super Bowl LI, where they faced the New England Patriots on February 5, 2017. In the Super Bowl, he had two total tackles as the Falcons fell in a 34–28 overtime defeat.[13]

On September 2, 2017, Hageman was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List as a result of domestic violence-related charges filed by prosecutors in DeKalb County, Georgia, following a March 2016 incident.[14] He was later released by the Falcons on September 4, 2017.[15]

On April 19, 2019, Hageman was re-signed by the Falcons on a one-year contract after being out of football for two seasons and the domestic violence charge against him was dropped.[16][17] Not long after re-signing, it was announced that Hageman would be suspended for the first two games of the 2019 season due violating the league's substance abuse policy.[18] He was waived/injured from the reserve/suspended list on September 16, and subsequently reverted to the team's injured reserve list the next day.[19] He was waived from injured reserve on January 13, 2020.[20]
