He won’t need to be the team’s leading receiver, or particularly close, to be seen as a success. As long as he makes plays in January and increases the answer to his half-decade-old tweet, Hopkins should go down as a quality Raven.

Among active players, he tops the charts in receiving yards, targets, and first-down receptions, and ranks second in overall catches and 25-plus-yard grabs.
