Andre Johnson had urged the team to draft a receiver capable of threatening defenses while working opposite the veteran. Apparently, somebody was listening. ... According to his
NFL.com scouting report, Hopkins re-wrote the Clemson receiving record books in 2012 with 18 receiving touchdowns and to put that in perspective the No. 2 player in the ACC in touchdown grabs was NC State's Bryan Underwood with 10. Hopkins does a nice job setting up his routes to keep defenders off balance and attack the ball at its highest point. If the ball is thrown in Hopkins area, he goes and gets it. He has fluid body control and the focus to be a reliable starting WR option in the NFL. It's not a huge surprise to see him as the second receiver off the board -- and he goes to a team with a need and that isn't afraid to start rookies.
