===St. Louis Rams===
====2015 Season====
Brought in to replace the out going Bob Branch, Hawkins proved to be a solid threat that defenses had to focus on. Darrell Murphy was incredible this season, and his receivers, including Hawkins, was a big part of it. In week 7 against a tough Atlanta Falcons pass defense led by the sensational David Wilburn, Hawkins racked up 5 catches for 106 yards and 2 touchdowns. In the first round of the playoffs against the Green Bay Packers, Hawkins exploded with a 4 reception, 103 yard, 1 touchdown showing. 
====2016 Season====
Entering his second season, the St. Louis Rams had high hopes for Hawkins. Even with a tight end that they felt could carry the franchise, the Rams traded for Cameron Duncan, who would compete with Hawkins for snaps at tight end. Hawkins did not put up receiving statistics like he did in his rookie year, especially because Murphy looked to pass more to rookie slot receiver Allama Banta instead of his tight end. Nevertheless, Hawkins averaged over 12 yards a reception and picked up another 3 touchdowns for his career total.
====2017 Season====
During the offseason, Hawkins was re-signed by the Rams, accepting a 3 year, $5.25 million contract. Hawkins was fourth on the team in receiving yards and receptions, finding the end zone four times. This was his best season as a deep threat, as he set his career record in yards per reception. However, it was the his lowest reception total so far, and his play still had not returned to his outstanding rookie season.
