One of the best interviews I've seen here. Bateman is such a genuine guy. I'm happy he's a Raven and pray he has a year beyond expectations

[@djkevgar]

I agree, I hadn't been blown away by his interviews in the past either they didn't feel as genuine, so he seems to be in a much better place

[@rorybateman4047]

Great and Honest Interview Bate i can’t wait to see you play again and yes just be yourself and put God first.❤

[@christinageary8576]

He’s gonna have a 1000 yard season💜🐦‍⬛🖤

[@Killayayo]

Bateman is the 🔑 to the offense he has to eat this year no excuses

[@tyronelliott4448]

Facts 💯 if he can get busy this year its gone be a problem ❗️

[@ketolorabaltimore1843]

This was the realest I have ever heard Bateman be, and it excites me to see where he is going this year now that he is better but not bitter.

[@cloutfisher7714]

Rashod Bateman is a perfect talk show guest. Honest, funny, and a good communicator. I’m proud that he’s a Raven

[@MarsMadness310]

This is your year Bate! It's already written!

With the help , of the almighty God. He is the healer. Stay prayerfully. Keep the faith, because he gives grace. Be strong 💪 play ball, don't look back. Go Ravens.

[@LILCHRISWILL]

I’m always rooting for Rashod Bateman even more now 🦾

[@cianixjade]

He’s gonna have a breakout yearrr

[@mwaurathuku4241]

If he plays at least 12-13 games gets over 800 yards and some clutch plays, that’s a win season for him

[@FlagShipFantasy]

For how much the ravens paid him, if he plays 14 games with at least 650 and 4 td that’s a steal he’s only making 8 mil or so a year

[@kennethbolar4741]

Rashad, stay as humble as you are NOW and you will be alright. I have a great deal of FAITH in you brother. Love!

[@MightyDMV]

I was ecstatic when we drafted Bateman. I have no doubt he can be a 75+ catch 1k yards guy given the opportunity

[@BarrieDeRonSantiago]

Best lounge interview I have seen. So many people are pulling for him. Very grounded, real and genuine. Work ethic and character=great success.

[@ajrocks44]

I think as fans now that we understand the timing of everything that has happened to him, we are looking forward to seeing what he will do this year and are rooting for him. Yes, the relationship between us and him has not been perfect, and the vids of him cooking guys helped. But now that Monkin knows what he has in Bateman and he has a full offseason in the offense and with Lamar. We just hope for him to stay healthy and he will blow up. If he has a healthy summer, he will torch KC and roll from there.

[@TruRavensChick]

Bate’s year is here!! He’s gonna rack up the TDs & get some good NFL highlight reels 💜🖤💜🦹‍♂️time to let Batman loose!!!

[@nintendork07]

bateman is gonna kill it this year. finally healthy and seems doing much better mentally. i'm happy for him & hope he shines

[@LuhvRaynell_NFLEnthusiast]

I only came through for the 🦇man ❣️

[@K1NGJayy3]

I knew he was dealing with a lot outside of football but didn’t realize it was to that degree. I’m glad he’s in a good place now. Definitely believe he can be great because losing multiple family members like it would mess up anybody

[@joshmorton3306]

He’s literally always open and it’s not even close he just wasn’t in the progression now he will be n now Lamar just needs to deliver that rock

[@MattyCamachio]

I was so pumped when they signed him back! The best is yet to come!!🖤💜

[@anightressfranklin7143]

I never lost faith in Bateman ❤ he will have a year this year!!

[@keeponballin6094]

HAVE A (DOMINANT) SEASON BRO AFTER YOUR ANCESTORS BMORE GOT YA BACK LETS GO !!!

[@TheJimnjas]

Off the football field, glad things for him are stabilizing and he's been able to come our resilient through the challenges and tribulations. On the field, he hasn't been good enough. Mostly due to injury and partly due to inconsistency. This has been frustrating to fans because we see glimpses of the raw talent, athleticism and super high potential (I know probably even more frustrating to him). I personally think he's the most talented receiver on the squad, Zay notwithstanding. To make the disappointing results worse, he's not been bereft of off-the-field noise. Complaining about EDC's criticism of WRs on social media. Seemingly missing out on opportunities to connect with Lamar during the off-season. What we want is for him to tie all of those "potential" indicators to be performance drivers on a consistent basis. It starts with a full and complete bill of health. He is probably on my top 3 favorite players list on the squad, but at some point the production has to match the promise / potential. The results have to match the reckoning. This season is huge -- he will have the opportunity to play a lot, without real competition behind him. Will he be fully and finally healthy? Can he be consistently produce and make an impact? I hope it happens this year!

[@curtsuneson6161]

It's not that he hasn't been good enough. Outside of injuries he just hasn't had a lot of targets and opportunities. Watch the film. Even in this interview they touch on the fact that he gets open. But on many plays last season he was the third and fourth read. They touched on that as well. He should have an expanded role in this offense and be the true number two wide receiver behind Zay. We're probably going to see a lot more two tight end sets than we did last year as well. So Bateman will have his opportunities out wide. I think as fans we should be a little more patient. No reason to think he's not going to break out this year.

[@NP.TRU.09]

There’s a hand full of of guys under WR that came and really made a name for themselves as a Raven. Hope he is one of them

[@richardlawler9886]

Love how they interview and are respectful. As much as you feel comfortable. Very cool to see him open up though. Hoping for a healthy season with high marks

Ball out this season, Bate!! 💪💪

[@TheTony024]

all I ask is good health Bate 🙏🏽 him and Zay have the potential to be a great route running combo. Personally, I’d take Zay over Bate at this stage but we got them both. Go cook in September and beyond 🔥 Lamar got serious options everywhere this season 👀 it’s crazy to have 2 high level route running playmaking receivers. Andrews, Likely, Henry those are big bodies tough yardage guys, I expect Bate and Zay to open up games with the medium/deep threat with the speed YAC 🤩

[@CalipacMan849]

I believe in you Bateman!!!! You got this bro!!!!

[@shetalksfootball104]

I'm so excited for him. I've continually believed in him. 🎉

[@courtneywilson860]

Bateman is the best WR on the team. I'm not knocking Zay because he's also really really good. I think Bateman could be a top 10 WR in the league if he gets the targets. Zay, Bateman, Likely, and Andrews can be the best group of weapons in the league if we quit focusing on giving Andrews the ball and spread it out between the group.

[@boogidwnej179]

😂😂this is why other fans of football teams laugh at us. Saying Bateman is better than zay and can be a top 10 receiver is ludicrous! He doesn’t warrant more targets than he’s gotten cuz he’s been injured an he’s not consistent on the field. He’s gotten targets and died t do anything else with the football after catching it.
