DeAndre Hopkins: I'm Best Wide Receiver In Football

May 29, 2020 3:45 PM

DeAndre Hopkins thinks he's the best pass-catcher in football despite not having the same consistency at quarterback as some of his peers.

Hopkins will now be paired with Kyler Murray after coming over in a trade from the Houston Texans.

"I definitely think I'm the best," Hopkins said on the Jalen & Jacoby Show. "I know I'm the best. Mike's my boy. I love [Saints wide receiver] Michael [Thomas] ... but he knows if I had Drew Brees my whole career what these numbers would be. [Falcons wide receiver] Julio Jones knows if I had Matt Ryan my whole career. That's my boy. I trained with Julio, too. He knows what these numbers would be.

"Those guys are definitely blessed to be in a position where, their whole career, they had a Pro Bowl quarterback -- quarterback that they spent multiple seasons with. But I don't complain. I don't make excuses. I go out there and work."

Hopkins caught passes from 10 different quarterbacks since he was drafted by the Texans in 2013.

Kenyan Drake Preparing For Workhouse Role In 2020

May 27, 2020 9:24 AM

After breaking out over the second half of last season, Kenyan Drake is ready for a breakout year with the Arizona Cardinals.

"I feel like my ceiling is as high as I'll take it," Drake said. "I can't do anything but put the work in right now and take that into whenever the season starts.

"I have personal goals for myself. ... I'm not looking for anything specific, I just want to help this team win as much as possible."

In eight games with the Cardinals, Drake compiled 643 rushing yards, averaged 5.2 yards per carry and scored eight touchdowns.

Arizona appeared to clear the way for Drake to be their workhorse by trading David Johnson to the Houston Texans in a deal for DeAndre Hopkins.
