Ravens TE Matthew Hibner eyes a hybrid Isaiah Likely role in Baltimore
Matt Hibner envisions himself in a hybrid tight end role for the Baltimore Ravens, similar to Isaiah Likely.
Hibner Models Game After Likely-Type Role in Ravens Offense Matt Hibner already has a clear vision for how he fits into Baltimore’s offense — and it’s a role Ravens fans are familiar with. When asked about stepping into a tight end room led by Mark Andrews and following in the footsteps of past contributors like Isaiah Likely, Hibner pointed directly to that hybrid style of play. “Yes, I think I would see myself as more of that ‘Isaiah Likely’ type of fit… I think being able to play on the line is important, but also being able to get downfield, be able to make plays and be a consistent pass catcher, as well.
” That’s an interesting self-scout. It shows he understands how Baltimore uses its tight ends — not just as blockers, but as mismatches. If he can bring that combination of size, movement, and reliability, he gives this offense another layer.
And in a system that leans heavily on tight ends, that role can grow quickly with trust. This article originally appeared on Ravens Wire: Matthew Hibner compares fit to Isaiah Likely in Ravens offense
