Hopkins was drafted 27th overall by the Texans in 2013 out of Clemson. He broke out as a third-year pro with 111 receptions (third-most in the NFL) for 1,521 yards (also third-most). “Nuk” led the league in receiving scores in 2017.
He and former Jaguars shutdown corner Jalen Ramsey had some of the best one-on-one matchups between NFL stars in recent memory.
