DeAndre Hopkins—Real Deal or Flavor of the Month?

Every year it seems like there is a new receiver that establishes himself among the games best. Sometimes they stay that way for many years, and sometimes they fade just as quickly as they came. Some examples of guys who faded after showing a flash in the pan one year are Peerless Price with the Bills in 2002, when he caught 94 passes for 1,252 yards and nine touchdowns, Drew Bennett with the Titans in 2004 in which he caught 80 passes for 1,247 yards and 11 touchdowns and Michael Clayton who burst onto the scene with the Buccaneers, catching 80 passes for 1,193 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie in 2004.
