Back in 2020, Hopkins posted a picture of the three and captioned it &#8220;how many TD&#8217;s would this trio total.&#8221; Now, the organization has the opportunity to answer that question.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:romgzcakgpsva2vlhgimk7na\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3lk5fvyd2gk2r\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreigd4iynvcnxy7cro4zwzz57xo6wdexgkdwchencrmgdkyjlvs7buy\" data-bluesky-embed-color-mode=\"system\">\n<p lang=\"\">DeAndre Hopkins posted this five years ago \ud83d\udd2e<\/p>\n<p>(via @DeAndreHopkins)<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:romgzcakgpsva2vlhgimk7na\/post\/3lk5fvyd2gk2r?ref_src=embed\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">[image or embed]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NFL (<a  href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:romgzcakgpsva2vlhgimk7na?ref_src=embed\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@nflbot.bsky.social<\/a>) <a  href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:romgzcakgpsva2vlhgimk7na\/post\/3lk5fvyd2gk2r?ref_src=embed\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 11, 2025 at 9:17 PM<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Old DeAndre Hopkins Tweet Goes Viral After Ravens Signing<\/h2>\n<p>At the time of the original tweet, none of these players were on the same team. Lamar Jackson was coming off a breakout season where he won <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2019\/11\/07\/lamar-jackson-should-be-nfl-mvp\/\" target=\"_self\">his first MVP award<\/a>, Henry led the league in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, and Hopkins had won First-Team All-Pro honors after hauling in 104 receptions for 1,165 yards and seven touchdowns. At the time, pairing these three together would have created a near-unstoppable offense.<\/p>\n<p>Lamar Jackson remains one of the game&#8217;s best quarterbacks, as he <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/11\/29\/lamar-jackson-mvp-stats\/\" target=\"_self\">narrowly missed his third MVP<\/a> award following another dominant season. Henry, meanwhile, made the most of his first year in Baltimore, rushing for 1,921 yards and a league-best 16 touchdowns. Were it not for Saquon Barkley&#8217;s historical season, Henry likely would have won First-Team All-Pro honors as well, despite playing in his age-30 season.<\/p>\n<p>Even though he sent the tweet, the present-day version of DeAndre Hopkins is probably the weakest member of this trio. While he&#8217;s still a solid wide receiver, he&#8217;s no longer a game-changing talent that keeps defensive coordinators up at night. Spending time with the Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs, the wideout finished the 2024 season with a combined 56 receptions for 610 yards and five touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>While Jackson and Henry will be crucial parts of the offense, Hopkins probably won&#8217;t be anything more than the second or third receiver in the passing attack. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/01\/02\/watch-zay-flowers-reaction-historic-pro-bowl-selection\/\" target=\"_self\">Pro Bowler Zay Flowers<\/a> is one of the league&#8217;s better up-and-coming receivers, while Rashod Bateman is a solid starter in his own right. Jackson, Henry, and Hopkins will score plenty of touchdowns in 2025, but the trio aren&#8217;t as lethal as they would have been in 2020.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Stephen Lew &#8211; Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2020, DeAndre Hopkins sent a tweet about playing with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry.
