DeAndre Hopkins
When DeAndre Hopkins was banned for the initial six games in the 2022-23 season, many speculated whether or not he will be able to bounce back in the same form? The same questions have been buried in the ground by this ultra-fast star who cannot stay still on the field, at least at the moment.
To those unaware – Hopkins might have entered the season late yet is making a strong name for himself. In six games this season, DeAndre Hopkins has 574 yards receiving and three TouchDowns. Having already impressed a lot of people with his dynamics, his play apparently caught the eye of New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, who reveal his true thought about him.
“I think he’s every bit as good as anyone I have ever coached against,” Belichick said of Hopkins. To which Hopkins replied is perhaps the most admired way possible, “Respect.”
Known one of the most explosive receivers, with safe hands as well – Hopkins can make contested catches too. His top-end speed isn’t the fastest you have ever seen, but he can still easily get behind the secondary. Hopkins poses a serious threat to a very good Patriots secondary on Sunday.
That being said, Bill Belichick’s side will be aware of threat being posed y Hopkins on the ground, but his experience will surely make his implement strategies to be able to stop such vicious opposition players.
Being 6-6, Patriots are one game out of the final wild card spot in AFC. So, there needs to be no added reason why this upcoming game against DeAndre Hopkins’ Cardinals is so important.
