Andre Johnson on Texans’ DeAndre Hopkins: ‘He’s arguably the best receiver in football’

Prior to last season, retired Texans Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson spent time at training camp in West Virginia.

While he was at The Greenbrier, Johnson visited with his protégé, Texans All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. And Johnson called Hopkins arguably the best receiver in the league, emphasizing his ability to consistently make acrobatic catches, his body control and his ambidextrous penchant for one-handed snags.

Hopkins' performance backed up Johnson's words. He caught a career-high 115 passes for 1,572 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Hopkins led all NFL offensive players with 46 votes in balloting for the annual Associated Press All-Pro team.
