NASHVILLE — Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins finally got to play in the Super Bowl after being traded to the Kansas City Chiefs during the 2024 season.
Hopkins had 41 catches, 437 receiving yards, and four touchdowns with the Chiefs in 10 regular season games. Kansas City would go on to win two playoff games and give Hopkins the opportunity he has been waiting for his whole career. Hopkins got to play in the Super Bowl.
While the 32-year-old veteran caught a touchdown in the game, the Chiefs came up well short of becoming Super Bowl LIX Champions and finishing off the first three-peat in NFL history.
Hopkins’ production tapered off towards the end of the season. He had just one catch on three targets in Kansas City’s first two playoff wins. It left many people wondering if Hopkins might hang it up at the end of the season, especially now that he has reached the Super Bowl.
Those rumors got put to rest on Tuesday morning when Hopkins announced his intentions of playing in 2025 on Twitter/X. “Don’t know what you heard but I’m not done yet,” Hopkins wrote.
Hopkins is now an unrestricted free agent and free to sign with any team. It will be interesting to see if he prioritizes getting back to the Super Bowl or reaching career milestones with playing time at this stage in his career.
Hopkins is 16 catches away from 1,000 in his career. He would become the 16th player in NFL history to hit that mark. Hopkins is also 35 yards away from reaching 13,000 career receiving yards. He would be the 21st player ever to hit that milestone. That’s a Hall of Fame trajectory.
