And while it’s been choppy in pass blocking, Hopkins been really unsuccessful as a run blocker.

He has yet to score above a 61.5 in PFF’s run blocking grading in a singular performance and ranks dead-last (31st) among starting centers with a 43.8 grade in that category.

He has never been a good run blocker, but he was always solid in pass protection - and now that’s not even the case.

Including a clunker of a performance agains the Jets, Trey Hopkins has earned a PFF pass blocking grade worse than 35.0 in 4-of-8 games.

Week 1 vs #Vikings (7.5)
Week 3 at #Steelers (26.5)
Week 5 vs #Packers (31.6)
Week 8 at #Jets (21.7)#Bengals need better play from their C.
