The Ravens had the NFL&#8217;s top-ranked offense in 2024 and became the first team in NFL history to have 4000 passing yards and 3000 rushing yards in the same regular season.<\/p>\n<p>Having Hopkins at OTAs this early gives him even more time to settle into Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken&#8217;s system. He&#8217;s always been a meticulous route runner, capable of breaking free on short, intermediate and deep routes. It&#8217;s early, but the potential for Hopkins to flourish is obvious, as he joins a wide receiver room that includes Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, who are both coming off their best seasons.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;First of all, I think he&#8217;s a heck of a football player,&#8221; Head Coach John Harbaugh said after Wednesday&#8217;s practice. &#8220;Obviously, you saw him today. He&#8217;s a gifted guy. He&#8217;s a talented guy. He&#8217;s going to be a big-body, contested-catch receiver for us, certainly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s moving great. Plus, he brings all that experience. He&#8217;s been in big games before. He&#8217;s made plays in the big games. He knows how to make plays. There&#8217;s not going to be any situation that&#8217;s going to be too big for him, but I just thought he and Lamar [Jackson] looked really good today out there together. It was nice to see.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Now that dream of sharing the field with Jackson and Henry has become reality, and they&#8217;re part of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":88945,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2052],"tags":[184,117,2282,783,4695,7,781,891,6,782,169],"class_list":{"0":"post-88944","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baltimore-ravens","8":"tag-baltimore","9":"tag-baltimore-ravens","10":"tag-baltimoreravens","11":"tag-clifton-brown","12":"tag-deandre-hopkins","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-general","15":"tag-homepage-latest-headlines","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-offseason","18":"tag-ravens"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114593205231162771","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88944","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88944"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88944\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88944"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88944"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
