Analysts debate whether Hopkins is NFL’s best wide receiver

Former Clemson and current Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Deandre Hopkins went on record Thursday stating his belief that he is the No. 1 wide receiver in the NFL, pointing out he has played with less-than-stellar quarterbacks for most of his career, unlike fellow receivers such as the New Orleans Saints’ Michael Thomas and the Atlanta Falcons’ Julio Jones.

“I definitely think I’m the best,” Hopkins said Thursday, per ESPN. “I know I’m the best. Mike’s my boy. I love Michael … but he knows if I had Drew Brees my whole career what these numbers would be.
