"He (Hopkins) had a really productive year," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said to ESPN. "The thing that we really like about Hop and that we want him to continue to do is his work ethic.

He came into the spring a year ago and he was learning the offense and thinking out there, then all of a sudden you could see all the work he put in and learning, he just took off."

"We just want to see him continue and progress," O'Brien said. "We think he can be one of the best, we think he is one of the best. We have a lot of confidence in him and we’re looking forward to seeing him progress when the offseason program starts."
