The Baltimore Ravens were looking for some wide receiver depth heading into the offseason, and midway through March, they got some in the form of a veteran.
DeAndre Hopkins is one of the most experienced wideouts in the league, and could be bound for the Hall of Fame when he hangs up the cleats. But for now, he will be looking to help the Ravens contend with the likes of the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC.
In an interview at this year's league meeting in Palm Beach, Florida, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told reporters that he feels Hopkins is now where he belongs.
"He's a guy that I've always felt like should be a Raven," Harbaugh said. "That was always something I always kind of thought when I watched him play when we were playing against him. I felt the same way about Derrick Henry and Lamar [Jackson] when we saw him in college. But to see him now with us, in our building, working out already with the guys, it's pretty cool."

Hopkins is 32 years old, so he might not be what he once was, but he had a solid season in 2024. He finished with 610 yards and five touchdowns while only starting in eight of the 16 games he played in.
D-Hop might not be the guy who goes out and gets 1500 yards in a year like he used to be, but he can certainly be a great veteran presence for a Ravens team wanting to once again win the AFC North. …
