On March 16th, the Tennessee Titans made a major move in the NFL free agency market by signing wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. The move was met with great excitement from Titans fans, as Hopkins is one of the most talented wide receivers in the league.
Hopkins has been a star in the NFL since he was drafted in 2013. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl four times and was named a First Team All-Pro twice. He has also been incredibly durable, playing in all 16 games in six of his seven seasons.
In 2019, Hopkins had one of the best seasons of his career. He finished with 104 receptions for 1,165 yards and seven touchdowns. He also had a career-high 11 receptions for 151 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 15 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Titans are hoping that Hopkins will be able to help them take the next step in their development as a team. They have made the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, but have yet to make it past the divisional round. With Hopkins now in the fold, they have a legitimate chance to make a deep run in the playoffs.
The addition of Hopkins also gives the Titans an elite receiving duo with A.J. Brown. Brown had a breakout rookie season in 2019, finishing with 52 receptions for 1,051 yards and eight touchdowns. With both Hopkins and Brown in the lineup, the Titans now have two of the best wide receivers in the league.
The Titans have made a major statement with the signing of DeAndre Hopkins. He is one of the best wide receivers in the league and will be a major asset for the team. With Hopkins and Brown now in the lineup, the Titans have a legitimate chance to make a deep run in the playoffs.
