Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has appeared on the I Am Athlete podcast today and he had quite a lot to say about his career and the NFL as a whole.
At one point, Hopkins was asked which quarterbacks he’d like to play with. Ranking them first through fifth, Hopkins started with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen followed by Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.
In third, Hopkins had Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, then Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens followed by Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers.
Fans of those teams are practically salivating at the idea of Hopkins joining their team to play with their quarterback:

If Hopkins were in Philly or Kansas City, then it’s just unfair.
I do see DeAndre Hopkins being a Bill though. https://t.co/PI87HQBT6u

DeAndre Hopkins is a five-time Pro Bowler and a three-time First-Team All-Pro selection with 853 receptions for 11,298 yards and 71 touchdowns in his 10 NFL seasons.
But he’s believed to be on the outs with the Arizona Cardinals. The fact that he’s already talking about playing with other quarterbacks and the absence of quarterback Kyler Murray from his list doesn’t bode well for his future in Arizona.
Will Hopkins find a way to play with one of the quarterbacks on his list this coming season or sometime in the future?
