The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a> have a star-studded roster, headlined by Derrick Henry and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lamar Jackson</a>. Henry, the running back, believes there is one teammate the NFL should not be underestimating.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/derrick-henry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Derrick Henry</a> has been an outstanding asset for the Ravens. He is arguably Lamar Jackson’s most dangerous offensive weapon, but he’s far from the only one.



According to Henry, the NFL is underestimating <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deandre-hopkins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DeAndre Hopkins</a>, who joined the Ravens this year in a move that has already paid off for Baltimore.



<h2>Derrick Henry warns the entire NFL about underestimating DeAndre Hopkins</h2>



Earlier this year, the Ravens decided to add a star wide receiver to Lamar Jackson’s offense. They went for DeAndre Hopkins, whose stint with the Chiefs raised some doubts about his fit in Baltimore.



Head coach John Harbaugh wanted to add a seasoned wide receiver, similar to what he did with Odell Beckham Jr. not long ago. However, the mindset between the two veterans is very different.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-shedeur-sanders-reportedly-rejected-a-super-bowl-contender-in-shocking-decision-during-2025-draft"></div>


Hopkins understands that he is not the WR1 in Baltimore, while Beckham previously tried to claim that role. Hopkins is now in a WR3 role, which, according to Derrick Henry, allows him to find more space in the defense.



“Hopefully, they keep calling him ‘washed’ because that shit has been working,” Henry said Friday, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. “We need it.



“Everybody knows that stigma, when you get up in age, all of a sudden, something has changed.”



<h2>Age is just a number</h2>



At 33 years old, retirement is on the horizon for DeAndre Hopkins. If success comes this season, he could finally leave football with the coveted ring he has chased throughout his career.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-confirms-if-lamar-jackson-will-be-suspended-and-fined-after-controversial-incident-with-bills-fan"></div>


In just two games with the Ravens, Hopkins’ numbers may seem modest, but they are highly efficient. He has four receptions on four targets for 99 yards and two touchdowns—the kind of effectiveness Lamar Jackson values in his targets.

What could’ve been a dream turned into a nightmare for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a>. Sunday Night Football was a great game for football fans, except maybe for one that got shoved by Lamar Jackson during a DeAndre Hopkins‘ touchdown celebration. The quarterback has broken the silence on the incident.



“He slapped me, and he was talking s— so, I just forgot where I was for a little bit,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jackson</a> said after the game. “You have to think in those situations. You have security out there; let security handle it. But I just let my emotions get the best of me. Hopefully, it doesn’t happen again. I learned from that.” When emotions are rolling high, even superstars can make mistakes.



When asked if his celebrations were going to be different going forward, Jackson said, “I’ve never seen our fans do that. So, I’ll probably do it again when we score a touchdown. It’s not nothing against the fans. I’m just celebrating when my teammates get a touchdown.”



<h2>The Ravens were in full control until that moment</h2>



Whether that was the key moment that flipped the switch or not for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bills</a> is not clear. However, when Hopkins scored, Baltimore was in full control of the game. The Ravens were winning 34-19 at that point.

Then, an ill-fated fumble by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/derrick-henry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Derrick Henry</a> gave Buffalo a short field and it quickly turned into a touchdown. The Bills failed a 2-pt conversion and the Ravens quickly scored again with Henry. However, the Bills were rolling. They scored a touchdown, forced a punt, scored another and then secured a 32-yard field goal for the legendary Matt Prater when the clock expired.

<h2>Will Lamar Jackson be fined for the shove?</h2>



The Bills’ fan who tapped Jackson on the helmet was ejected from the stadium. Jackson isn’t the one at fault but his reaction could be classified as unwarranted. However, the NFL has made no statement regarding the quarterback facing either a fine or a suspension.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deandre-hopkins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DeAndre Hopkins</a> has been an elite NFL wide receiver for the better part of a decade. After playing with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, he is now going to the Baltimore Ravens to play with another top-tier quarterback in Lamar Jackson. Going away from Mahomes is quite a thing, but for Hopkins, it’s what’s on the other side what drove him there.



A report from Jamison Hensley of ESPN states that Hopkins saw the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ravens</a> were a missing piece away from winning it all. “It seems like there’s been&nbsp;a piece that’s been missing,” Hopkins said. “I could be that addition. I could not be that addition.”



Hopkins is 33 years old, so he is in the twilight of his career but he is still a worthy assett to have on a roster. Baltimore has a complete roster and Hopkins should add experience to it. The debt of this team is to go to the Super Bowl and Hopkins just played in it. Even if it’s on a leadership role, having him there is good for the team.



<h2>There’s a reason the Ravens haven’t been able to get to the Super Bowl</h2>



Many critique <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lamar Jackson</a> for failing to go deep in the playoffs. As of now, he has a 3-5 record, which gives those critics ammo. However, while you can see his stats dipping in the playoffs, not everything can fall on Lamar’s shoulders.

Players like Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews have had fatal mistakes that costed the Ravens playoff games. That is not Jackson’s responsibility. However, the expectations for a two-time MVP are Super Bowl rings.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/travis-kelce-reveals-what-has-been-the-biggest-change-for-him-since-dating-taylor-swift"></div>


<h2>This year, more challenges are ahead</h2>



First, the Ravens might need Hopkins to help them go over their own hump, but there’s more. After that, you have to go through many more challenges. First and foremost, their division is hard as nails. Facing the Pittsburgh Steelers and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a>, the Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Burrow, and the Cleveland Browns twice is not easy.



Then, when the playoffs roll around, there are the Buffalo Bills with reigning MVP <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/josh-allen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Josh Allen</a> waiting to crush the party… Oh, and a certain team called the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>‘s modern day dynasty. The Ravens are in a great spot to challenge all teams, but it’s not going to be easy.

DeAndre Hopkins hints at biggest change for Lamar Jackson’s Ravens after leaving Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a> are doing everything they can to put Lamar Jackson in a position to win them the Super Bowl. This offseason, they went and signed one of the best receivers in the NFL during the last decade. One teammate has made it clear DeAndre Hopkins is more than welcome in Baltimore.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marlon-humphrey" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marlon Humphrey</a> has established himself as one of the NFL’s best cornerbacks in the last few seasons. He is also known for making his opinions known. “I like D-Hop,” Marlon Humphrey said at his minicamp press conference. “I’ve gotten to have some conversations with him. He is ‘Mr. Contested Catch.’ That is for sure. Just having a conversation with him, I thought it was really humbling.”



The cornerback went on to add, “I feel that he fits the Ravens mold, and I think he’ll fit right in.” At 33 years old, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deandre-hopkins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hopkins</a> still wants to get the always-elusive Super Bowl before he calls it a day. 



Hopkins was close to winning with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chiefs</a> last season, but they lost on big Sunday to the Eagles. Hopkins joined Kansas City mid-season and played 10 games for them, catching 41 passes for 437 yards and 4 touchdowns. His output dimmed in the playoffs but he still showed he can be a productive weapon.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250623_BUS_424512_marlon-humphrey-1024x576_27b6682c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Marlon Humphrey is a leader on defense" class="wp-image-424527" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/23104211/marlon-humphrey-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/23104211/marlon-humphrey-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/23104211/marlon-humphrey-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/23104211/marlon-humphrey-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/23104211/marlon-humphrey-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/23104211/marlon-humphrey-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/23104211/marlon-humphrey-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/23104211/marlon-humphrey.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Cornerback Marlon Humphrey #44 of the Baltimore Ravens celebrates after an interception during the fourth quarter against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium on September 25, 2022 in Foxborough, Massachusetts.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>The Ravens have a top-tier defense</h2>



Humphrey has played 8 seasons in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> and has made the Pro-Bowl in four of them. He has also been an All-Pro twice, including last season. In 2024, he had 6 interceptions, including a pick-six, defended 15 passes and forced two fumbles. Quarterbacks throwing his way only had a 60.9 passer rate. Humphrey needs to keep it going for the Ravens to contend.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/lamar-jackson-is-tired-of-mark-andrews-controversy-after-ravens-loss-in-playoffs-against-josh-allen-and-bills"></div>


The Ravens have playmakers on defense, not only Humphrey. Kyle Hamilton has established himself as a top safety in the league. He is a smart player with huge athleticism. However, if you look elsewhere, they have other great players. Roquan Smith is one of the best linebackers in the NFL. Rushers Kyle Van Noy and Odafe Oweh both had double-digit sacks last seasons. This is a tough team to face.



<h2>Is Lamar Jackson under duress?</h2>



Lamar is arguably one of the best regular season quarterbacks of all time, and he is only 28 years old. He has two MVPs, 4 Pro-Bowls and numbers that would blow your mind. However, he only has one AFC Championship Game appearance, which was a loss.



His postseason numbers are nowhere near his regular season stats and the leash might be shortening. Once again, the Ravens have assembled a top-tier team that Lamar needs to guide to the promise land. It’s in his hands to change the narrative and win a Super Bowl.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a> have landed a superstar ahead of the 2025 NFL season. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lamar Jackson</a> will now have DeAndre Hopkins as a new weapon at wide receiver, and the quarterback has already set clear expectations for the former Chiefs star.



Just a couple of years ago, the Ravens weren’t completely convinced that Lamar Jackson was their long-term answer at quarterback. But he proved the doubters wrong, becoming one of the top signal-callers in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>.



As a result, Baltimore rewarded him with a lucrative contract extension. Since then, the front office has been working to build a stronger roster around him—bringing in proven talent to support his growth and push the team toward championship contention.



<h2>Lamar Jackson sends message to DeAndre Hopkins about expectations in Baltimore</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deandre-hopkins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DeAndre Hopkins</a> has gone from one elite quarterback to another in just a matter of months. After falling short of a Super Bowl win with Patrick Mahomes and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chiefs</a> in Super Bowl LIX, Hopkins now sets his sights on a championship run with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/lamar-jackson-is-tired-of-mark-andrews-controversy-after-ravens-loss-in-playoffs-against-josh-allen-and-bills"></div>


For years, Baltimore has searched for a top-tier wide receiver to complement Jackson’s skill set. Their most recent attempt, signing Odell Beckham Jr., didn’t go as planned, with the veteran leaving after just one season.



Now, Hopkins joins a talented Ravens offense that includes receivers like Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. Many analysts see him as the team’s WR3, but Lamar Jackson thinks Hopkins could take on a bigger role in 2025.



The quarterback recently spoke about his expectations for Hopkins, expressing confidence in the veteran’s ability to contribute immediately. Jackson made it clear that Hopkins is still a reliable target who can help elevate Baltimore’s offense and keep them in the Super Bowl conversation.

“That guy is dope. He is different,” Lamar Jackson said, via the team’s website. “That’s some super vet type of stuff. It’s just dope to have him, and I am looking forward to throwing a lot of touchdowns to him this year.”



<h2>DeAndre Hopkins’ stats from the 2024 NFL season</h2>



Once considered the best wide receiver in the NFL, DeAndre Hopkins has faced a few challenging seasons in recent years. Now, he hopes to change the narrative in 2025 with a fresh start in Baltimore.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/lamar-jackson-teammate-sends-warning-regarding-ravens-receivers-ahead-of-2025-nfl-season"></div>


In 2024, while playing with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, Hopkins recorded 437 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 10 games. Though his production was limited, the Ravens are optimistic that their offensive system—and the chemistry with Jackson—can help him bounce back in a big way.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a> and the Kansas City Chiefs did all they could to win another Super Bowl in the 2024 NFL season, including a trade for star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins halfway through the season. But it wasn’t enough.



And while <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deandre-hopkins">Hopkins</a>‘ addition didn’t exactly elevate the offense to another level, it wouldn’t be fair to call it a failed trade. But there were other moves that did left a lot to be desired in Kansas City, such as the deal for Joshua Uche.



Speaking at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> owners meetings this week, Reid regretted the timing for Uche’s arrival, but he went even further by admitting that his profile wasn’t exactly what the Chiefs needed.



“Probably wasn’t a great fit for what we do. And we got him late and we were trying to work him in,” Reid said, via Zach Berman of The Athletic. “That’s a tougher deal to do.

“Would have liked to see him throughout training camp so we have time to get him in there and go. By the time we got him, we were rolling. I’m not sure the fit was exactly what our defense (needed),” continued Reid, before he clarified: “He’s a great kid.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> gave up a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to acquire the experienced linebacker from the New England Patriots before the deadline, hoping to give a boost to the defense ran by Steve Spagnuolo.



However, Uche never settled in on Reid’s team. A healthy scratch in four of 10 regular season games and inactive during the playoffs, the 26-year-old left Kansas City with only 10 tackles to his name in six appearances, playing just 22% of the snaps.



To make things worse, Uche will spend the 2025 NFL season with the team that prevented Reid and the Chiefs from pulling off a three-peat. This offseason, the edge rusher joined the Philadelphia Eagles on a one-year, $1.92 million deal which includes $1.25 million guaranteed.



<h2>Hopkins also leaves in free agency after midseason trade to Chiefs</h2>



Hopkins, on the other hand, spent more time on the field than Uche during his short stint with the Chiefs. With five starts in 10 appearances, the wideout caught 41 passes for 437 yards with four touchdowns.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="67ed91620c8fd1e7fdf26be3" data-title="Which free agency loss will prove tougher for the Chiefs?" data-options="2"></div>


He also started in two of the Chiefs’ three playoff games, though he was limited to just three catches for 29 yards and a touchdown in the postseason. Just like Uche, D-Hop packed his bags after playing last season on an expiring contract. Next year, Hopkins will chase a Super Bowl ring with Lamar Jackson on the Baltimore Ravens.

Not DeAndre Hopkins: Andy Reid makes tough admission, regrets failed signing by Chiefs in 2024 NFL season

Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes will be down an experienced weapon in the 2025 NFL season, with wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins leaving the Kansas City Chiefs to join <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh">John Harbaugh</a>‘s Baltimore Ravens this offseason.



The wideout spent only a few months in Kansas City, where he couldn’t help <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Reid</a> and Mahomes win a third consecutive Super Bowl. Harbaugh, however, admitted that he always thought that Hopkins belongs to Baltimore.



“He’s a guy that I’ve always felt like should be a Raven,” Harbaugh said of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deandre-hopkins">Hopkins</a>, via Pro Football Talk. “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 signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Ravens at the start of free agency, hitting the open market as he finished the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season with the Chiefs on an expiring contract.

<h2>Hopkins’ brief stint with the Chiefs</h2>



Kansas City landed D-Hop via trade from the Tennessee Titans halfway through the campaign, giving up a 2025 fifth-round pick in an attempt to help <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Mahomes</a> and Reid win another Super Bowl. The team made it to New Orleans, but suffered a blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the big game.


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/andy-reid-warns-rest-of-the-nfl-about-travis-kelce-after-the-chiefs-stars-decision-to-postpone-retirement"></div>


Between his time with the Titans and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> in 2024, Hopkins finished the year with 56 receptions for 610 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games. He also contributed with three catches for 29 yards and a TD in the postseason, but his partnership with Mahomes didn’t go exactly as expected.



<h2>A huge boost to the Ravens’ aspirations</h2>



Now, Hopkins will be looking to pursue a coveted championship with Lamar Jackson, another star craving for a Super Bowl ring. According to Harbaugh, the 32-year-old will be a perfect fit on the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Ravens</a>.



“I was in a parking lot in Tampa getting ready to go see my daughter play a lacrosse game, and we got on the phone, and I had a chance to talk to him about what his vision was for his future and what he wanted to accomplish,” Harbaugh said. “And amazingly enough, it aligned perfectly with the Ravens’ vision; it was right in line with what we’re trying to do.“

John Harbaugh's admission after snatching DeAndre Hopkins from Chiefs

DeAndre Hopkins‘ stint with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a> and Patrick Mahomes didn’t last long. Only a few months after joining the Kansas City Chiefs via trade, the star wide receiver packed his bags to team up with Lamar Jackson on the Baltimore Ravens ahead of the 2025 NFL season.



The 32-year-old hit free agency after spending the final year of his contract with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a>, who got him from the Tennessee Titans in October. The expectations were sky-high by then, but things didn’t go exactly to plan.



Hopkins didn’t find the chemistry everyone expected to see between him and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Mahomes</a>, who couldn’t make D-Hop his No. 1 WR. The wideout, however, made it clear that he has no hard feelings against the quarterback or Reid for not getting that many opportunities to make plays.



“I have definitely been in situations the past couple of years where I have only gotten a couple of targets, so for me, it has never really bothered me. I embrace it. You got to realize and understand this is a business and that is how it goes,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deandre-hopkins">Hopkins</a> said last week after joining the Ravens, via Sports Illustrated.

<h2>Hopkins’ brief stint with Mahomes, Reid’s Chiefs</h2>



Both the Chiefs and Hopkins knew that their partnership could be short-lived though, with the wideout playing on an expiring contract last year. Reid and the front office, however, felt that providing Mahomes a weapon of that caliber was worth the trade.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/andy-reid-net-worth"></div>

 

 


Kansas City committed to giving the Tennessee Titans a fifth-round pick in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> Draft that would’ve become a fourth-rounder if the Chiefs reached Super Bowl LIX with D-Hop playing 60% of the snaps. The team did make it to New Orleans, but it turned out that Hopkins was used in less than 50% of the offensive reps.



With five starts in 10 regular season appearances, Hopkins caught 41 passes from Mahomes on 59 targets, recording 437 receiving yards and four touchdowns. His production in the 2025 NFL playoffs didn’t see a significant change, with the wideout being targeted just eight times for three receptions with 29 yards and one touchdown.



<h2>Hopkins thrilled about playing with Jackson</h2>



Hopkins isn’t holding any grudges with Mahomes or Reid for that, but he’s ready to move on. Now, he’ll chase a coveted first Super Bowl ring in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Baltimore</a> with Jackson, another star who’s also been craving for a championship.



“I think Lamar being the leader of this team is part of the reason that I came here,” Hopkins admitted. “What he stands for and how he led this team and this organization to the playoffs in multiple years and since he has been here just how he has led any receiver group he has had. I think that played a big part in me coming here for sure. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson">Lamar</a> being the quarterback.”

Baltimore Ravens have made a statement in free agency with the addition of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deandre-hopkins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DeAndre Hopkins</a>, a former Kansas City Chiefs key player in the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. The arrival of the veteran wide receiver has sparked a strong reaction within the team, and one of the most excited players is Ronnie Stanley, the veteran left tackle and teammate of Lamar Jackson, who did not hide his enthusiasm after the signing.



Stanley agreed to re-sign with the Ravens this offseason, extending his career with the team that began in 2016. For a player of his experience, having a Super Bowl finalist like Hopkins by his side is a reason to show excitement. Additionally, Hopkins is a seasoned addition who can provide valuable offensive support for quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson">Jackson</a>.



“I mean I had a huge smile on my face when we signed ‘D-Hop’. You know what you’re getting with that guy. I think he’s a Hall of Fame-caliber wide receiver, and I still think he has a lot of good reps, years, seasons in him. And he’s a physical player, he’s a competitive player, and I think he’s going to fit into our team really well,” Stanley reacted to the arrival of former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chiefs</a> player Hopkins.



<h2>Hopkins’ performance in the 2024 NFL season</h2>



Hopkins, the addition of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ravens</a>, spent last season split between the Titans and Chiefs. Overall, he caught 56 passes for 610 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games. He played a key role for the Missouri franchise in the postseason, recording three receptions for 29 yards and a touchdown in three games.

<h2>Hopkins’ career in the NFL</h2>



Hopkins began his professional career after being selected in the first round of the 2013 Draft by the Houston Texans, where he played until 2019 and established himself as one of the league’s stars. During his time with the AFC South team, he was selected to the Pro Bowl five times and solidified his status as an elite receiver, surpassing 1,000 yards in multiple seasons.


 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/lamar-jackson-net-worth"></div>

 


In 2020, Hopkins was traded to the Arizona Cardinals, where he gradually became a standout receiver in the league. Injuries and a suspension in 2022 limited his impact, leading him to join the Titans in 2023. In 2024, he signed with the Chiefs to compete for a Super Bowl.

The Baltimore Ravens aim to be contenders once again this season in the NFL, and to achieve that, they are looking to strengthen their roster in the best way possible. The addition of veteran DeAndre Hopkins from the Kansas City Chiefs boosts the offense and provides <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson">Lamar Jackson</a> with another option to execute his game to the fullest.


 


In a conversation with the press, the seasoned player, who previously wore the jerseys of the Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans, revealed one of the main reasons why he ultimately decided to join the team led by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh">John Harbaugh</a>.



“I think Lamar being the leader of this team is part of the reason that I came here,” Hopkins said. “What he stands for and how he led this team and this organization to the playoffs in multiple years, and since he’s been here, just how he’s led any receiver group he’s had. I think that played a big part of me coming here for sure—Lamar being the quarterback.”



Despite not having his best numbers last season with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> alongside Patrick Mahomes, Hopkins brings all his experience to the Ravens in an attempt to secure the coveted <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>, something the franchise has been longing for quite some time.

For his part, Jackson had one of his best <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> seasons, which unfortunately wasn’t enough to earn him another MVP award: he completed 66.7% of his passes for 4,172 yards, 41 touchdowns, and four interceptions. He also rushed 139 times for 915 yards and four touchdowns.

<h2>The viral image of Hopkins with Lamar and Henry</h2>



Following the news of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deandre-hopkins">DeAndre Hopkins</a>‘ arrival to the Ravens, a photo posted by the wide receiver some time ago on his official X account quickly went viral. In the image, he is seen alongside Lamar Jackson and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/derrick-henry">Derrick Henry</a>, in a way predicting this eventual outcome down the road.



When asked about this particular sequence, the former Clemson player stated that he found it unlikely for the three of them to join the same team.


 


“Honestly I did not think that was a possibility,” Hopkins said, via the Ravens on X. “I was like Derrick Henry is obviously never leaving Tennessee and Lamar is never leaving Baltimore, so it’s going to take me possibly going to either one of those places and obviously I went to Tennessee and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Baltimore</a>.”

Former Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins makes bold statement about Ravens' Lamar Jackson ahead of 2025 NFL season - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a> had a strong season, reaching the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. However, they fell short in a tight 25-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills. After the defeat, Lamar Jackson’s team focused on strengthening the offense. They needed reinforcements to improve their competitiveness, which is why they seized the opportunity to snatch a weapon from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a>‘ Kansas City Chiefs.



According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deandre-hopkins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DeAndre Hopkins</a> will join the Ravens to play alongside Lamar Jackson. Hopkins, who arrives from the Kansas City Chiefs, is reportedly signing a one-year, $6 million deal. His addition brings a proven, elite receiver to Baltimore, providing Jackson with a reliable target capable of making game-changing plays.



Despite his limited role with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a> last season, DeAndre Hopkins had the chance to play the Super Bowl LIX next to Patrick Mahomes having some important plays. Also, he remains a reliable wide receiver. His precise route-running and ability to make contested catches will help <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lamar Jackson</a>. 



Hopkins gives the Ravens a much-needed playmaker on the outside. Baltimore has struggled to maintain a consistent passing attack. His arrival strengthens a major weakness in their offensive scheme. However, it does not solve all of their issues. Concerns remain about the offensive line’s protection and the overall balance of their offensive approach.

<h2>How did De’Andre Hopkins perform in the 2024-25 NFL season?</h2>



De’Andre Hopkins delivered a respectable 2024-25 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season with the Kansas City Chiefs, recording 41 receptions for 437 yards and four touchdowns. Despite sharing targets with Travis Kelce and the Chiefs’ deep receiving corps, Hopkins remained a reliable option for Patrick Mahomes.

De’Andre Hopkins may not arrive to be a regular starter for the Baltimore Ravens. However, his experience and ability to make difficult catches in key moments could be valuable. He joins the team on a one-year contract, which minimizes the risk for Baltimore. The move has the potential to be a smart addition. Only time will determine his true impact.

“Poacher turned gamekeeper.” That’s the phrase making rounds among fans after Kansas City Chiefs star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deandre-hopkins">DeAndre Hopkins</a> delivered a strong statement about the officiating in Super Bowl LIX. Following a tough loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Hopkins didn’t hold back in calling out the officials for what he believed were questionable calls.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> didn’t have their best performance of the season. Despite finishing with an impressive 17-2 record through the regular season and playoffs, Kansas City struggled to impose its dominance against Philadelphia. The Eagles’ defensive line delivered a standout performance, exposing weaknesses in Andy Reid’s squad during the game in New Orleans.



Players like Hopkins found it difficult to make an impact early on, and by the time he and his teammates found their rhythm, it was too late. After the game, the veteran wide receiver didn’t mince words when discussing how officiating influenced the flow of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>.



“I saw a lot of things on the film,” Hopkins told reporters. “Maybe some of you will disagree, but there were a lot of soft calls. Aren’t you going to report that? Are you going to talk about the real snow?”

<h2>Hopkins’ special tribute before the Super Bowl</h2>



Despite expressing his disappointment in the postgame press conference, Hopkins had his family on his mind just before kickoff. In a gesture that didn’t go unnoticed, he paid tribute to his late father, who passed away last year, with a heartfelt tribute.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-chiefs-te-travis-kelce-makes-final-admission-after-tough-super-bowl-loss-vs-eagles"></div>

 

 


Hopkins had been waiting for the right moment to honor his father, and the Super Bowl provided that opportunity. While his first appearance in the big game didn’t go as planned, the experience was still unforgettable. However, what caught fans’ attention was how he arrived at the stadium, wearing a long mink coat that once belonged to his father.



Before the game, Hopkins had mentioned that he was saving the jacket for a special occasion, possibly his wedding or the Super Bowl. The latter came first, and he made sure to honor his father in a way that felt meaningful. For sure, he would’ve been proud about Hopkins after his first Super Bowl game.



<h2>Hopkins’ message to Chiefs fans after the loss</h2>



Following his postgame comments to the media, Hopkins took to social media to share a message with Chiefs fans and the organization. “Forever grateful to be part of the Chiefs organization. Didn’t complete the mission or play my best game, but that’s life,” Hopkins wrote on X.

Chiefs news: DeAndre Hopkins makes bold statement on officiating in the Super Bowl

The Kansas City Chiefs made an interesting move with the 2024 NFL season already underway by getting star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, giving <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a> and Patrick Mahomes a talented weapon on offense.



And while Hopkins’ production in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City</a> hasn’t been through the roof so far, Reid and Mahomes found in him a great leader apart from a top pass catcher, something the wideout was already known for.



Speaking to the press on Wednesday in Super Bowl LIX week, Reid revealed that, while he was aware of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deandre-hopkins">Hopkins</a>‘ talent, he didn’t really know how much of a leader he was. It didn’t take long for the coach to notice those kills.



“I knew we were getting a good player, but I didn’t know about the leadership part,” Reid said, with quotes courtesy of A to Z Sports’ Charles Goldman. “That whole senior leadership he’s brought, I appreciate that. He’s a unique route runner. He’s shared that with some of the guys.”

<h2>Hopkins’ experience before joining Reid, Chiefs</h2>



While Reid may have not known how much Hopkins would teach his teammates, the coach did know he was getting an experienced player in him. After all, we’re talking about a 32-year-old player who’s finishing his 12th season in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>.


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-deandre-hopkins-makes-something-clear-to-the-titans-about-his-trade-to-the-chiefs"></div>


Selected in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft out of Clemson, D-Hop spent seven years with the Houston Texans before being traded to the Arizona Cardinals, where he spent the next three seasons of his career.



That stint was followed by a two-year tenure with the Tennessee Titans, who sent Hopkins to the Chiefs for a 2025 fifth-round pick this season. D-Hop racked up 56 catches for 610 yards and five touchdowns en route to the playoffs, where he now hopes to help Reid and company get the job done in Super Bowl LIV.



<h2>Hopkins grateful for trade to Chiefs</h2>



Speaking to reporters ahead of Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Hopkins made sure to thank his former team for letting him join the Chiefs and have a chance to challenge for Super Bowl glory.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-chiefs-owner-clark-hunt-sends-message-to-josh-allen-bills-amid-referee-favoritism-claims"></div>


“It meant a lot for the Titans to trade me to the Chiefs,” Hopkins said this week, via Nick Suss of The Tennessean. “I thank [owner] Ms. Amy [Adams Strunk] and [former General Manager] Ran [Carthon] and his crew for allowing this to happen because without them I wouldn’t be in this situation, so I’ve got to give Nashville and Ms. Amy thanks.”



Hopkins has not only given Reid and Mahomes a reliable weapon on offense, but also more veteran presence in the Chiefs’ WR room. Only time will tell us whether his first year in KC gets a perfect ending.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid reveals there's one thing he didn't know about DeAndre Hopkins

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deandre-hopkins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DeAndre Hopkins</a> is just one win away from his first Super Bowl title. Now, the star wide receiver has sent a strong message to his former team, the Titans, about the trade that landed him with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a>.



A few years ago, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> marveled at DeAndre Hopkins’ talent. Despite playing in a struggling Houston Texans offense, the wideout stood out, even without a quarterback who matched his elite level.



Hopkins left Houston in 2020 to join the Arizona Cardinals before signing with the Titans in 2023. However, after an underwhelming stint in Tennessee, he was traded to Kansas City—where his fortunes finally turned.



<h2>DeAndre Hopkins sends a message to the Titans about his trade to the Chiefs</h2>



DeAndre Hopkins has built a career worthy of the Hall of Fame. While his individual stats support that claim, one thing has eluded him—team success. Now, that could soon change.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-chiefs-owner-clark-hunt-sends-message-to-josh-allen-bills-amid-referee-favoritism-claims"></div>


At the start of the season, Hopkins seemed destined for another losing year. However, just before the trade deadline, the Titans dealt him to the Chiefs, drastically altering his outlook.



Now, he stands on the verge of securing his first <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> ring. Yet, none of this would have been possible without the Titans’ willingness to move him.



Hopkins has now opened up about how he felt regarding the midseason trade. The wide receiver expressed gratitude to the Titans’ organization for facilitating the move and giving him the opportunity to compete for the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

<h2>Will DeAndre Hopkins stay with the Chiefs in 2025?</h2>



DeAndre Hopkins originally signed a two-year deal with the Titans in 2023, meaning he is set to become a free agent once the 2024 season concludes.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/carson-wentz-makes-tough-admission-about-eagles-with-clear-statement-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix-with-chiefs"></div>


According to reports, the Chiefs are highly impressed with Hopkins’ impact. However, if he is to stay in Kansas City for the 2025 campaign, both sides will need to work out a deal that benefits everyone involved.
