Ravens' Matthew Hibner Could Be a Rookie to Watch
He's showing signs of a true breakout star.
In his NFL preseason debut, Baltimore Ravens tight end Matthew Hibner made a strong first impression, showcasing the potential to become a real NFL contender. Despite running only 12 routes, Hibner came away with five receptions on all five targets for 61 yards. This impressive production, considering the limited number of routes, translated to an average of 5.08 yards per route run.
His performance was highly praised, earning him a 92.6 PFF grade and the highest grade among offensive rookies during the opening week of the preseason. The recognition from sports analysts, including Gordon McGuinness, further solidifies Hibner's promising outlook. As the 133rd overall pick in the NFL Draft, Hibner has shown that he can make an impact without relying on a high volume of routes.
With more time to prove himself during the remainder of the preseason, Hibner's debut provides Baltimore with a valuable young option to watch.
