Matthew Hibner Inevitable TE1?
Hey flock, been thinking lately: Does Matthew Hibner take Mark’s job this season?
It’s only been one preseason game, but Hibner is showing a lot of flash already. He’s fast, gets separation, and has soft hands. He also runs north and south and doesn’t try any fancy things that can cause turnovers.
I can see by mid-to-end-of-season the pass-catcher depth chart looking a lot like Flowers x Lane x Hibner, with Walker or Bateman in the slot. Even Sarratt is showing good potential. This may be the best group Lamar has ever had. Andrews can still be a quality TE2 if he stays healthy.
There’s some reports that Andrews has been struggling in camp. He can’t get much separation, and he’s had a fair amount of drops. He obviously isn’t the same player he used to be. Between the gruesome leg injury he suffered a few seasons ago and the absolute disaster of a game he had in 2025’s divisional round, it’s understandable.
I am a Mark Andrews fan and always will be. He’s dedicated himself to the organization, and even with all the faults he has had lately, he is still technically the best Ravens pass-catcher of all time. But it begs the question: is his time as a reliable starter up?
