Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has been rumored to be on the outs with the team for a long time. But amid a recent rumor that the Baltimore Ravens want to acquire him and pair with Lamar Jackson, he decided to respond.
Appearing on I Am Athlete, the Pro Bowl wide receiver said it “would be an honor” to play with Jackson if his career allowed him to. He also listed off a number of other quarterbacks, such as Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert.
“I’d be lying if I didn’t say, ‘It would be a honor (if my career allows me) to play with a great guy and great quarterback like (Lamar Jackson),'” Hopkins said.
Hopkins comment has quickly gone viral with fans fantasizing about what kind of incredible offense the Ravens would have if they could pair Hopkins with the likes of Odell Beckham Jr., rookie Zay Flowers and tight end Mark Andrews.

“Bruh OBJ, Bate, DHop AND Flowers AND Andrews? Might as well just run 5 wide all game and challenge them to cover you,” one user replied.
“We could have OBJ Flowers and DHop… DeCosta send that 2nd and 3rd rounder right now!!!” another fan wrote.
“Lamar Jackson, Deandre Hopkins, Rashod Bateman, Zay Flowers, Odell Beckham Jr. Would literally be insane,” wrote a third.
Where do you think DeAndre Hopkins will play this season?
