rey Hopkins, who chose max protect over Mozart, is giving the Bengals enough options on the offensive line to rival his Pandora’s Box of music.
Old school R&B. (Think ‘90s Lauryn Hill and the Fugees.) Reggae. Classical.
“Anything,” says Hopkins, who has played five line spots and three instruments.
Bengals offensive line coach Paul Alexander is pretty much saying the same thing about Hopkins after he played all three interior positions in consecutive series for the first team, in Saturday’s Family Day semi-scrimmage at Paul Brown Stadium.
Anything.
Hopkins, undrafted out of Texas three years ago, hobbled by a broken leg for two of them, on the practice squad for all but one of 32 games, and with just 10 NFL snaps, is one of the locks of training camp.
