Longtime NFL wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will play in his first Super Bowl on Sunday afternoon in New Orleans, and he'll doing so honoring his late father.

"My dad died in 1992 and he left me a couple things," the pass catcher told reporters during Super Bowl media week. "And one of the things that he left me was a mink jacket.
