DeAndre Hopkins has made it clear that he never asked for a trade from the Arizona Cardinals, but the All-Pro receiver has an idea of which QB he’d like to play with if he were.
Appearing on the “I Am Athlete” podcast with Brandon Marshall and Ashley Nicole Moss, D-Hop didn’t hesitate when asked who he’d love to have throw him the ball in the second half of his career.
“I would have to say, one of my favorite quarterbacks that I’ve been watching since he came in the league is Josh Allen,” Hopkins revealed. “He reminds me of a new school Andrew Luck. I love Josh Allen.”
