Steelers coach Mike Tomlin on Texans' DeAndre Hopkins: 'Dynamic player'
Texans Pro Bowl wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins' acrobatic sideline catches, fingertip grabs, body control and ability to confuse cornerbacks have been on display all season.
Hopkins leads the NFL with 168 targets, five more than Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown. Hopkins has caught 92 passes for 1,313 yards and leads the NFL with a dozen touchdown catches.
Hopkins has 61 catches for 866 yards and five touchdowns with 43 first downs on 107 sideline targets.
“He’s a dynamic player, combat-catch guy," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "I think that’s probably the most defining thing or the most shocking thing about his game as we study him this week, is he’s always open because if he’s in one-on-one circumstances, he can make the combat-catch, and does consistently. And even sometimes in the two-on-one situations. He’s a big-time, big-time playmaker for them.”
