It is hard to get Patriots coach Bill Belichick excited, but every so often he’ll reveal himself to be a huge fan of certain star players around the league. Among them is a standout from this week’s Pats opponent, the Cardinals: wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
Belichick made it clear that he thinks the world of the five-time All-Pro. On Wednesday, Hopkins returned the praise on Twitter.
“He’s got tremendous ball skills,” Belichick said of Hopkins on Tuesday, per MassLive. “He catches everything. Has great hands. He’s long so he’s never covered, even if he’s covered there’s a place where the ball can be that he can get it and still make the catch.
