At 33 and the start of his 14th NFL season, DeAndre Hopkins knows the questions are coming. Is the tank empty? Is retirement looming? Is this really the end of one of the greatest wide receiver careers of the modern era?
Hopkins hasn’t been entertaining any of this.
“I am not retiring,” former Clemson star said bluntly on the Pardon My Take podcast. “I averaged 15 yards a catch last year, man.”
That single sentence will pretty much say what Hopkins stands as free agency approaches. He’s older, yes. He’s a veteran, absolutely.
