Hibner: Ravens Trade-Up Made Draft Moment ‘Surreal’For Matt Hibner, there was already a feeling Baltimore might be the destination — but the way it happened still caught him off guard.

When asked about the moment he got the call and whether he expected it to be the Ravens, Hibner described a mix of anticipation and pure emotion, especially with Baltimore making a move to go get him.

“I had a feeling that Baltimore could be the place. And the emotions were just overwhelming; [it was] just a surreal moment. The Ravens, they traded up for it, so it was a little bit of a surprise [with] just the timing of it all. But, [it was] just an overwhelming feeling of being incredibly blessed and just ready to make the most of it.”

That trade-up matters. It tells you what the organization thinks of him before he even takes a snap. Now, the opportunity is real. And with that kind of belief already behind him, Hibner walks into Baltimore with both momentum and expectation.
