THE Baltimore Ravens Weren’t the biggest players in the 2025 off-season. In the middle of a super bowl window, the limits of the hood and the meager-draft capital made it possible not to appear on the lists of spring winners.

With the quarter of the superstar Lamar Jackson and a strong heart the support, a championship remains very close. The offseason was therefore supposed to strengthen these Super Bowl aspirations by filling minor holes with smaller movements.
One of these acquisitions was the receiver Deandre Hopkins. After the worst year of his career, the expectations of the veteran receiver are weak. This leaves a lot of room for Hopkins to impress in Baltimore.
To organized team activities (OTA), Crows Head coach John Harbaugh revealed his first impression of Hopkins.
“First of all, I think he is a crowded football player,” said John Harbaugh, via the Team website. “Obviously, you have seen it today. He’s a gifted guy. He’s a talented guy. He’s going to be a large-body, a Caps Catch caps receiver for us, certainly.

“He moves very well. In addition, he brings all this experience. He has already been in big games. [Jackson] looked really good today there. It was pleasant to see. “”
Hopkins projects itself as an complementary element of the passing offense, especially in the red zone. If he can gain Jackson’s confidence, playing a disproportionate role is also possible.
However, Hopkins enters his 33 -year season. He posted only 610 yards in 16 games, 10 of which came with the quarter of the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, and did not leave the playoff series.
Hopkins, as the third receiver in an offense with several targets without perimeter, is not positioned to bounce back in the box score. But if he can win in the third bottom and isolate the offensive that passes, there is room so that he wrote a successful chapter in Baltimore.

“”[DeAndre Hopkins] It looks great, “said Mark Andrews. “He looks really, really good. He has done big games, and I think he’s going to be great for our offense, just being versatile, having a guy that catches the ball extremely good, short from really fluid routes and knows the game well. And he looks like, when he is there, he was very good.”
The Hopkins pro Bowl days are behind him, but if it is in good health, there is a role for him in a successful offense of the Ravens. Fans will have the chance to confirm the first impressions of their favorite team as summer takes place.
