Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has played 177 games in his 12-year NFL career. Not many players — or even coaches — have the experience and knowledge Hopkins has gained on his way to over 12,000 career receiving yards and 81 touchdowns.
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is one of the exceptions. His 26 seasons as head coach of the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles give him a respect that Hopkins immediately embraced.
“I haven’t been here that long, but coach Reid has definitely pushed me as a player,” Hopkins told reporters during a press conference on Wednesday.
