ESPN ranks Hopkins in Top 10 of 2013 Re-Draft |
Former Clemson standout
DeAndre Hopkins
ESPN analysts did a re-draft of the 2013 NFL class on Thursday and picked Hopkins #10 overall. It was a seventeen pick jump from where he was actually drafted. Today on NFL LIVE, we re-drafted the 2013 class. @NYJets Sheldon Richardson would be No. 1 overall -> pic.twitter.com/S49OmjIph5 In two years in the NFL, Hopkins has 128 catches for 2012 yards and eight touchdowns. The 1210 yards accounted for 35% of the Texans' receiving yards which was the most in the entire league. In 2014, Hopkins had 76 catches (127 targets) for 1,210 yards and 6 touchdowns despite spotty quarterback play with Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mallet and Case Keenum. His 76 receptions were 26th in the NFL and his 1,210 yards were an impressive 12th-best in the NFL. During the off-season, the Texans released long-time franchise wide receiver Andre Johnson. This will cement Hopkins as WR1 in Houston and may lead to more targets and opportunities. The Texans might draft a wide receiver in the first few rounds to help their wide receiver depth. Hopkins had 206 receptions for 3020 yards and 27 touchdowns while at Clemson and was named a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award and first-team All-ACC by several publications.
