DeAndre Hopkins calls out Ravens in deleted post

Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins still appears to have some hard feelings over how the Baltimore Ravens used him in 2025.

Hopkins on Monday reposted a fan’s message urging the Ravens to bring Hopkins back, accompanied by video of the wide receiver’s Week 1 touchdown against the Buffalo Bills. Hopkins made clear, however, that he felt the Ravens had not made proper use of him.

“How many times after this do you think I was used in the red zone?” Hopkins wrote in the since-deleted post. “When targeted I’m still one of the most productive but never complained with my snaps and never will.”

This is not the first time Hopkins has suggested he felt underutilized by Baltimore, but it is the most blunt. He only had two touchdowns last season and caught a career-low 22 passes in a Ravens uniform.

Hopkins is currently a free agent and clearly believes he can still contribute to an offense, particularly in the red zone. This certainly makes it sound, however, as if he would have some serious reservations about returning to Baltimore, though they do have a new offensive staff in place.
