Cardinals' DeAndre Hopkins shows 'rare' toe-tap ability

TEMPE, Ariz. -- The play started like many of DeAndre Hopkins' toe-tap catches, looking like a typical route.

The Arizona Cardinals were facing third-and-goal from the Tennessee Titans' 5-yard line in the 2021 season opener. The three-time All-Pro wide receiver was lined up left of quarterback Kyler Murray, with cornerback Janoris Jenkins across from him.

With all of the Titans' back-line defenders standing at the goal line, Hopkins had the full end zone in which to operate -- an artist with a blank canvas.

Murray took off to his right, trying to evade linebacker Harold Landry.
