Report: Eagles great Wes Hopkins has died at age 57

Hopkins, whose 57th birthday was Wednesday, played all 11 of his NFL seasons for the Eagles after they drafted him in the second round out of SMU in 1983. He was selected for the Pro Bowl in 1985, a year in which he also was first team All-Pro, intercepting six passes.

Hopkins apparently had been hospitalized lately in Birmingham, Ala.
