Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins meets Olympic gold medalist Simone Manuel

HOUSTON -- On the field before Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins got to meet Olympic gold-medal swimmer Simone Manuel.

Manuel, who is from Sugar Land, Texas, won four medals for the United States and served as the coin toss captain for Sunday's game.

"Oh, it was great," Hopkins said. "Me and somebody who represents our country in the way she does, and what she's accomplished so far in her career. I'm pretty sure she has a lot more in store, though."

I had a blast attending my first NFL game.
