After spending years as the top weapon in a number of high-profile offenses around the NFL, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins finds himself in a unique spot heading into the 2025 season: a complementary offensive piece.
Now for some players, that role change may be a disappointing development after an incredible career, but for Hopkins, who has yet to win a championship, having an opportunity to play alongside Lamar Jackson was too good to pass up, as he's among the best individual players in the league.
Discussing his early work with Jackson during minicamp with reporters, Hopkins reveals he's learned a lot about playing with the former MVP and looks forward to their on-field connection moving forward.

While only time will tell what Hopkins looks like in the Ravens system, from where he lines up pre-snap to how much he's asked to do within the offense, for now, it's hard for fans not to get excited about the five-time Pro Bowler in Todd Monken's offense, as he's yet another weapon to help Jackson get the promised land.
