Sure enough, Hopkins already looks like a great fit in the Ravens’ offense. The 33-year-old has four receptions on as many targets for 99 yards and two touchdowns in his first two games as a Raven, and he’s already made a few jaw-dropping catches<\/a>. His chemistry with Jackson has been immediately evident, and should only improve as the season goes on.<\/p>\n Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman, who will call the Ravens’ Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions on “Monday Night Football,” said that Hopkins is the missing piece they’ve been looking for for a while now.<\/p>\n Oct 7, 2024; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman prior to a game between the New Orleans Saints and the Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

DeAndre Hopkins has already shown that in the first couple of weeks with some of the highlight catches that he’s made.<\/p>\n “So, I thought it was a great pickup, and it’s been nice to see him do what he’s been able to do and what he’s added to that offense for Baltimore.”<\/p>\n “It’s really what I thought this offense needed a year ago.”@TroyAikman<\/a> highlights how DeAndre Hopkins has been a game changer for the Ravens offense \ud83d\udc40 <\/p>\n (via @NFL<\/a>) pic.twitter.com\/jJdjlO0QwY<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
