Blanton and Hopkins

I think the Rams still need to add a true blocking TE to the mix in the spring. But I wonder if maybe these opportunities for Blanton and Hopkins help the light come on for them and they can contribute more next year.

Hopkins was supposed to be the TE3 but was basically demoted and benched early on. Blanton was a pure practice squad guy until injuries piled up. Both came through in some big moments in the postseason. Credit Hopkins with a really good block on the 4th and 1 sweep by Kupp.
