DeAndre Hopkins is a game-changer, and Sports Illustrated agrees.
As part of the magazine’s NFL preview issue, Sports Illustrated featured the Texans wide receiver on one of its four regional covers featuring the NFL’s rising stars.
The covers, which also include defensive end Mike Daniels (Packers), defensive tackle Aaron Donald (Rams), and guard Trai Turner (Panthers), explain how each player has maximized his opportunity to be among the best at his respective position.
