DeAndre Hopkins has a timeframe for when he will stop playing football.
Hopkins revealed on Thursday that he will retire from the league once he’s not a 1,000-yard receiver.
“I’ll retire from football when I’m not a 1k-yard receiver. With that said, I was on pace for 1,400 yards last year—one significant injury in 11 years. I might be playing till I’m 37 the way I feel,” Hopkins said.

Hopkins finished the 2022 season with 64 receptions for 717 yards and three touchdowns. He posted those numbers in just nine games so he definitely would’ve hit over 1,00 yards if he had stayed healthy.
He’ll look to get back to that level for this season even though it’s still a mystery who he will play for.
He has yet to sign a deal with a team since he was released by the Arizona Cardinals in late May.
