Marlon Humphrey: DeAndre Hopkins fits the Ravens mold
Now with the Ravens on a one-year deal, Hopkins made a positive impression with his new teammates on offense and defense during the offseason program.
'I like D-Hop,' cornerback Marlon Humphrey said at his minicamp press conference last week. '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.
'We asked him — me and one of the strength coaches — 'What do you think about the team from the outside looking in since you've been on other teams?' And he said, 'It seems like there's been a piece that's been missing. I could be that addition. I could not be that addition.' To hear a veteran guy, All-Pro guy and Pro Bowl guy say he could be, or he could not be [the piece that's missing], to me, that was extremely humbling. I feel that he fits the Ravens mold, and I think he'll fit right in.'
Hopkins, who turned 33 this month, caught 41 passes for 437 yards with four touchdowns in 10 games for the Chiefs last season. He then added three receptions for 29 yards with a TD in three postseason games. Despite having spotty quarterback play in 2023 with the Titans, Hopkins still caught 75 passes for 1,057 yard with seven TDs.

Not only did the offense break off a huge touchdown run, but the kickoff team also managed to force a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. Undrafted free agent Nate Carter bounced back from a slow night to break off the 43-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Tight end Teagan Quitoriano recovered the fumble and wide receiver Chris Blair hauled in a 53-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Easton Stick.

2025 NFL preseason: Titans vs. Falcons Player of the Game: TE Gunnar Helm
The Tennessee Titans wrapped up their 10-day road trip with a preseason Week 2 win over the Atlanta Falcons. It wasn't an easy win, with an interception thrown by Brandon Allen and a lost fumble by T.J. Sheffield, but the Titans earned a victory nonetheless. One of the reasons the Titans walked away with a win is because of tight end Gunnar Helm, who is this week's Player of the Game. Helm recorded four receptions on four targets for 48 yards and a touchdown. Not only that, but he was all over the field when he was out there. He was in the mix on blocking, he was running routes as a receiver, and he was disrupting the Falcons' defense at every chance he could get. The rookie tight end doesn't just want a spot on the roster; he wants to be the starting tight end. That role currently belongs to Chig Okonkwo, but if he isn't careful, Helm will take his place in a heartbeat. Okonkwo is in his fourth season with the Titans, and he's been consistent in his production. Last year, though, he had two fumbles, something uncharacteristic of his usual performance. Both Okonkwo and Helm were fourth-round draft picks by the Titans, and both aim to have a role on the team in 2025. Tonight, Helm earned Player of the Game honors with his determination, drive, and strength. Expect him to push Okonkwo or take over his position in 2025.
