Bengals | DeAndre Hopkins reiterates desire for Cincinnati Mon May 4, 12:43 AM
Free-agent WR DeAndre Hopkins (Ravens) said in an interview over the weekend that he remains interested in joining the Cincinnati Bengals in 2026. 'I think (Joe Burrow) is one of the best,' Hopkins said in a Saturday interview while attending the Kentucky Derby. 'I love his game, his toughness. He took his team to a Super Bowl early in his career and I feel like he can get back there with a little bit of help.'
| Footballguys view: As SI.com suggested, Hopkins may not be the player he was earlier in his career. Still, he would be a solid third receiver to have behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and a more reliable option than Andrei Iosivas in the slot. That wouldn't make Hopkins fantasy relevant, but it would benefit Cincy's offense. Hopkins' versatility would allow the Bengals to continue moving Chase around on the field. |
