DeAndre Hopkins is coming to Foxboro for a visit next week, and the New England Patriots are one step closer to making one of their biggest free agent signings in recent memory.
The Patriots haven’t had a receiving talent on Hopkins’ level since the team traded for Randy Moss back in 2007.
Even at age 31, Hopkins is still one of the top offensive playmakers in the league. He was only on the field for nine games in the 2022 season and still came away with 64 catches for 717 yards and three touchdowns. Those are shocking numbers for the five-time Pro Bowler, who clearly isn’t getting the respect he deserves for that effort.
