DeAndre Hopkins had nothing but love for late Houston Texans owner Bob McNair on Monday ... despite the fact the two clashed hard after McNair's infamous "inmates run the prison" comment.
Remember, while NFL owners held a meeting to find a way to stop the kneeling protests last year ... McNair was quoted as saying, “We can’t have the inmates running the prison.”
Hopkins was reportedly VERY offended by McNair's comment and sat out a full practice in protest.
But after torching the Tennessee Titans on "Monday Night Football," DeAndre couldn't have been more respectful when talking about McNair in the locker room.
