He finished 2024 with the Chiefs with 56 catches, 610 yards, and 5 touchdowns. Against the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles\u00a0in the Super Bowl, Hopkins had 2 catches on 5 targets but did catch a touchdown with 18 yards.<\/p>\n<p>On a positive note, Nuke can be a\u00a0red zone threat and contested catch player\u00a0for Jackson. While this signing might be a year too late, regardless of what shape he is in and if he\u2019s recovered from any ailments or injuries, DHop will definitely produce way more in 2025 than whatever\u00a0Diontae Johnson\u00a0gave Baltimore. The Johnson deadline trade last season was low risk but somehow ended up in the worst possible scenario where he was cut\/traded a few times.<\/p>\n<p>The negative side of this\u00a0signing\u00a0would be that he is a non-factor and doesn\u2019t have the same juice as before. But that is obvious due to his age and how he ended last year. If they can get Week 9 Hopkins back, where he had 8 catches on 9 targets, 86 yards, but 2 touchdowns, I will take that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u00a0get their third wide receiver, this time signing veteran DeAndre Hopkins to a one-year deal worth up to $6 million.
