J.J. Watt had a message for those doubting the future of DeAndre Hopkins on Friday in the aftermath of the star receiver’s sudden release from the Cardinals.
Watt, Hopkins’s former teammate with the Texans and Cardinals, appeared to be among the many NFL fans and pundits with thoughts on Hopkins suddenly becoming one of the top free agents on the market. In fact, according to Watt, the team that manages to land the 30-year-old wideout would be adding a skillset not found on any current roster.
The retired pass rusher took to social media to offer a ringing endorsement for D-Hop by casting the 10-year veteran over the likes of Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase as his pick for which receiver has the best hands in the NFL.
