Breaking: DeAndre Hopkins’ TD Celebration Sparks Controversy
The Tennessee Titans traded away wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Kansas City Chiefs on October 23rd, receiving a conditional 2025 fifth-round pick for the future Hall of Fame receiver.
Hopkins was a fan favorite in Nashville, but dealing the three-time All-Pro was a savvy move from general manager Ran Carthon. Hopkins is set to hit free agency this offseason and didn’t have a clear future with the Titans. Additionally, Tennessee’s season is dead in the water, and there is no point in keeping a 32-year-old wide receiver on an expiring contract.
Hopkins’ debut with the Chiefs was lackluster, as the five-time Pro Bowler played just 23 snaps and hauled in two catches for just 29 yards. But Hopkins has finally gotten it going, as he tallied his first receiving touchdown as a Chief during the team’s Week 9 Monday Night Football showdown versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the veteran had an intriguing celebration after finding the endzone in the second quarter.
The former Clemson standout performed a dance from the football movie Remember the Titans, trolling his former team and looking exhilarated to be a Kansas City Chief.
Hopkins is still an extremely productive and talented player, and the former first-round pick will have a chance to add a ring to his Hall of Fame resume in Kansas City.
