WATCH: Former Clemson WR makes insane catch |
Injuries have made for quite a few signal-callers for
DeAndre Hopkins this season in Houston, but the big plays have been there consistently, which he showed against Pittsburgh Monday.
In a goal-to-go situation, Texans QB T.J. Yates tossed a ball up and Hopkins did a juggling act over a Pittsburgh defender for his 13th touchdown of the season: Come on.#PITvsHOU pic.twitter.com/B0yFMBbhQs NO. WHAT. CATCH OF THE YEAR!?@DeAndreHopkins is BAD man! #Texans#PITvsHOU pic.twitter.com/k0Wgx2JlCv Recovering injured teammate Deshaun Watson recognized the fellow Clemson product mid-game after the catch: @DeAndreHopkins my brodie is the best WR in the game! ?? The fifth-year pro came into the game ranked second in the NFL in receiving yards per game (93.8). Hopkins re-set his own franchise single-season record for touchdown receptions recently. Hopkins' TD is another example of how athletes benefit from playing multiple sports. No.10 had over 1,300 pts, 400 boards, 600 assists & 200 steals in HS BB career. I think he might've done the tip drill a few times in practice to master ball control, etc. It paid off on TD catch
