For years now, there have been reports about DeAndre Hopkins’s practice attendance.
In 2020, the Arizona Republic wrote an article with a headline that reads, “DeAndre Hopkins practices when he wants, doesn’t care what you think.”
In 2021, Hopkins said that he had ankle surgery that might have affected the way coaches manage his hours.
This past April, three anonymous NFL executives told The Athletic that they’d be cautious about adding Hopkins and “expressed concern” over his practice habits.
The five-time Pro Bowler visited with the Patriots last week, and the team is reportedly hopeful that it will be able to sign him.
