Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins is no diva

Unlike many of his wide receiver colleagues around the NFL, Texans All-Pro DeAndre Hopkins doesn't make headlines for being a diva.

Hopkins has built a reputation as a hard-working, durable player who embraces good work habits and provides mentoring to younger teammates.

Hopkins is also ultra-productive, catching a career-high 115 passes for 1,572 yards and 11 touchdowns this season. Over the past two years, he has combined for 211 catches for 2,950 yards and 24 touchdowns on 337 targets.

Hopkins creates big performances instead of drama a la controversial Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown.

"No, I can't be a distraction to this team," Hopkins said.
