The New England Patriots are reportedly receiving a visit from five-time Pro Bowl receiver DeAndre Hopkins next week, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Hopkins is currently going on visits with interested teams and looking to find his next home after being released by the Arizona Cardinals. The Patriots have consistently been mentioned as one of the interested teams in securing the star receiver’s services.
That all officially rings true now that he actually has New England on his list of places to visit.
Hopkins visited with the Tennessee Titans this week. The Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs have also been mentioned as teams that could potentially be interested.

The Patriots are a team with a real need for a No. 1 receiver and legitimate resources to make a fair market offer to Hopkins. The right offer could be the final domino to fall in making sure Hopkins’ visit to Foxboro is a one-way ticket.
