"He's taking Zay Flowers' job" - NFL fans react to LaJohntay Wester being ahead of Ravens star at OTAs

On Wednesday, DeAndre Hopkins posted a photo of the fastest players at the Baltimore Ravens' OTAs. The photo showed that former Colorado Buffaloes wide receiver LaJohntay Wester had recorded quicker times than star wideout Zay Flowers and running back Keaton Mitchell.

The photo circulated on social media and drew a flurry of reactions from fans.

Some claimed that Wester was coming for Flowers' top role in the offense.

"He’s taking Zay’s job." one fan wrote.

"Tay [LaJohntay Wester] flying," one fan wrote.

"Hopkins???? Damn that’s tuff," one fan wrote regarding how Hopkins had ranked third on the Ravens.

Meanwhile, other fans were extremely impressed with how DeAndre Hopkins had finished the drill third fastest despite being 32.

"Dhop [DeAndre Hopkins] still got it😭." one fan wrote.

"Drop [DeAndre Hopkins] like 32 and still running that fast? 😭." one fan wrote.

"Damn DHop [DeAndre Hopkins] 😂😂😂😂🔥💪🏾." one fan wrote.

Will LaJohntay Wester feature in the Ravens offense in 2025?

The Ravens used their sixth-round pick to select Wester out of Colorado. While playing alongside Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter last year, Wester had a strong campaign and showed what he could do when given opportunities. He finished the campaign with 74 receptions for 931 yards and 10 touchdowns.

An extremely quick and agile wide receiver, Wester is also known for his strong hands and elite route-running abilities. However, there is a chance that Wester does not have a major role in the Ravens offense, at least right away.

Baltimore's receiving options include Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins, Mark Andrews, and Isaiah Likely. Furthermore, the Ravens are a run-heavy team with QB Lamar Jackson and RB Derrick Henry. As a result, Wester will likely need to continue to show off his skills in practice, like he did this past week, to earn more opportunities in the Baltimore offense in 2025.
