“I Haven’t retired from the [NFL],” Hopkins wrote on X (Twitter) on Saturday. “But if you’re a WR and you want to be great, come to [Georgia Tech].”
The Houston Texans legend briefly spent some time with the New England Patriots coaching staff in July.
“DeAndre is one of the greatest receivers of all-time, but his value to our program goes far beyond the that,” Georgia Tech head football coach Brent Key said in a statement, via USA TODAY. “He has an exceptional knowledge of what we’re doing on offense due his long relationship with [offensive coordinator] George Godsey and strong familiarity with the ACC, but most importantly, he’s a leader of men that I’m very excited for our players to be around, on and off the field.”
Where did Hopkins play last?
The Baltimore Ravens.
