Baltimore Ravens quietly signed a Deandre Hopkins in March to Little Fanfare. However, the three-hour first team All-PRO is already turning heads in Charm City.
“First, I think he is a footballer,” John Harbaugh’s coach said of Hopkins this week through the team’s official website. “Obviously, you saw him today. He is a talented guy. He is a talented guy. He certainly becomes a big-body, a controversial receiver for us, certainly.
“He moves wonderfully. In addition, he brings all that experience. He has been in big games before. He has played in the big games. He know [Jackson] Look very good today together. It was fun to see. “
Hopkins, which was a perpetual Pro Bowler early in the career, did not give Hopkins a spark in Kansas City last year after trading in the middle of time-437 meters and four, for example, in 10 games in the normal season and only three power in 29 meters and one point in three deficits by season.
The disappointing production in KC led to questions about whether the 33 -year -old, which is soon, still has it. Those in Baltimore seem to be mocking the idea.
“[DeAndre Hopkins] Looks good, “tight as Mark Andrews said.
Last year’s production in Kansas City could have been disappointing, but it is only one year from going to 1,000 plus meters in 2023 in Tennessee. The 2024 campaign was the first since 2016 where Hopkins played more than 11 games and did not break the age goal.
All recipients lose steps at some point with age, which makes them more difficult to separate from defenders. The big body of Hopkins and vice versa can help reduce it.
In Baltimore, the elder will not bear the burden. Instead, he can be an additional piece for Lamar Jackson along with Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and the tight ends of Andrews and Isaiah probably. Hopkins is unlikely to set up elegant numbers, but his presence, especially in the Red region and on key third floors, can make Jackson life easier.
