Texans' DeAndre Hopkins intent on getting bigger, stronger, faster

DeAndre Hopkins' star turn last season included a series of acrobatic one-handed catches and elevating over cornerbacks to catch the football with outstanding body control.

The Texans wide receiver finished the season with a career-high 111 catches for 1,521 yards and 11 touchdowns and made his first Pro Bowl appearance.

Now, Hopkins is working on getting bigger, stronger and faster in his quest to increase his production as he builds chemistry with newly acquired quarterback Brock Osweiler.

Listed on the roster at 6-1, 218 pounds, the former first-round draft pick from Clemson says he's added muscle and pounds while maintaining his speed.
