Round 4 TE (No. 133 overall) put together one of the most impressive performances of Baltimore's rookie class in preseason debut; on 32 snaps, Hibner finished as the Ravens' highest graded offensive player by PFF with a 92.6 overall grade (74.0 pass blocking, 93.6 receiving). In the passing game, he matched up one-on-one with a linebacker, created separation on an out-and-up route, and caught a screen while showing ability to operate in space and create additional yardage after the catch. He also logged 17 run blocking snaps with several quality reps sealing defenders to create running lanes. The source emphasizes his versatility: receiving ability, movement skills, and functional blocking translated into 5 catches for 61 yards.

Matthew Hibner is one of four mid-round rookie picks the Ravens are relying on for significant WR/TE snaps in 2026. Hibner is a catch-first, 24-year-old tight end who ran a 4.57 40-yard dash after a modest college career, suggesting limited athletic upside. The source notes that Baltimore's offseason overhaul relies on 'significant contributions from four mid-round picks,' with Hibner being one of those contributors expected to fill the void left by departing tight ends Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar.
