The three-time first-team All-Pro, however, is already turning heads in Charm City.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;First of all, I think he&#8217;s a heck of a football player,&#8221; head coach John Harbaugh said of Hopkins this week, via <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break: break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.baltimoreravens.com\/news\/ravens-deandre-hopkins-otas-strong-first-impression-mark-andrews-isaiah-likely-john-harbaugh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the team&#8217;s official website<\/a>. &#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 <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/lamar-jackson\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lamar (Jackson)<\/a> looked really good today out there together. It was nice to see.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A perennial Pro Bowler early in his career, Hopkins didn&#8217;t provide the spark for the Kansas City Chiefs last year after <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/chiefs-acquiring-wr-deandre-hopkins-in-trade-with-titans\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a midseason trade<\/a> &#8212; 437 yards and four touchdowns in 10 regular-season games, and just three catches for 29 yards and one score in three postseason tilts.<\/p>\n<p>The disappointing production in K.C. led to questions about whether the soon-to-be 33-year-old still has it. Those in Baltimore seem to scoff at the notion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He looks great,&#8221; tight end <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break: break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/mark-andrews\/\" title=\"Mark Andrews\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Andrews<\/a> said of Hopkins. &#8220;He looks really, really good. He&#8217;s been making some big plays, and I think he&#8217;s going to be great for our offense, just being versatile, having a guy that catches the ball extremely well, runs really fluid routes and knows the game well. And he looks like, when he&#8217;s out here, he&#8217;s flying around. He&#8217;s looked really good.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Baltimore Ravens quietly signed DeAndre Hopkins in March to little fanfare.
