He won’t need to be the team’s leading receiver, or particularly close, to be seen as a success. As long as he makes plays in January and increases the answer to his half-decade-old tweet, Hopkins should go down as a quality Raven.

Shortly after the news dropped of receiver DeAndre Hopkins agreeing to a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens, an old tweet of his describing him playing alongside Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry resurfaced.

Hopkins, a five-time Pro Bowler, had his seventh 1,000-yard season in 2023 with the Tennessee Titans, where he played alongside Henry. Henry departed for Baltimore last free agency, and it worked out pretty well as he nearly ran for 2,000 yards and 18 touchdowns.
