“I’ve been doubted, a lot of people wrote me off.” Born on June 6, 1992, in Central, South Carolina, DeAndre Hopkins has seen it all in his life. His father died when he was a baby, leaving his mum, Greenlee, to look after her four children alone. In addition, when Hopkins was just 10 years old, Greenlee survived an abusive relationship. Despite all those struggles and more, the wide receiver never lost his hope. The result? He will be playing the Super Bowl for the first time in his NFL career on February 9.
With the Texans, Cardinals, and Titans, DeAndre Hopkins failed to reach this far. But on Wednesday, October 23, the Kansas City Chiefs agreed to acquire the veteran player from the Titans. And that would have been his one of the most lucky days in the league. Now that he has reached the Super Bowl, Hopkins has an inspirational message to share with the young generation, which even Erin Andrews liked.
DeAndre Hopkins shared a beautiful message for children on Monday on his X account. He wrote: “To all the kids out there living in small towns, in small houses, with single parents. To the kids who see violence, who see loss, who don’t get the resources they deserve, but who still have big dreams. Know that I was a kid in your exact shoes and this week I’m playing in the Super Bowl. Don’t give up, work hard, keep believing. Where you start doesn’t determine where you end up.” Wow! That’s beautiful.
This message for the young generation is enough to inspire them. And also to give them the hope that if DeAndre Hopkins can do it, they can too. FOX reporter Erin Andrews too loved the note. That’s why she shared this tweet on her Instagram account, with a perfect reaction – “This!! (emotional and red heart emojis).” Andrews herself grew up as an athlete with a love for the spotlight. But later, she claimed it by her hard work, and is now one of the leading journalists in a male-dominated sport.
So, yes, as Hopkins mentioned it’s not necessary from where you start, you’ll end up in the same place. Things do change and if you work hard for your dreams, you will get there for sure in your life, just like DeAndre Hopkins. His fans really wish that he walks off this season with a SB ring. Until then, he is getting love and support from everyone, including teammate Travis Kelce.
DeAndre Hopkins has support from big brother Travis Kelce!
Last weekend, DeAndre Hopkins shared a post on his official IG account. In that, he announced his recent collaboration with boohooMAN, a men’s clothing brand. The shared video featured Hopkins in multiple outfits from the shooting days. And guess what? He was looking dapper in every look. He even wrote a caption saying, “From the tunnel to the streets—this collection is built different. My @boohoomanofficial collab is OUT NOW.”
Fans, who didn’t miss to see the video, showed their love for the athlete. Even Travis Kelce joined them to voice out his support for the veteran wideout. The Chiefs’s tight end, who himself is known for his fashionable outfit choices, left his comment “YESSSIRR” on DeAndre Hopkins’s post. In return, the 32-year-old too liked his comment on social media.
Now that both the players and the rest of the team are heading to the Super Bowl, WR is feeling blessed. This is evident in what he said after reaching the finale – “Twelve years in the league, man I got traded for pennies in my prime. I just want to thank the organization for giving me a shot. They knew I could still go out here and make plays when I need to, draw double teams, and play beautiful football.” And that time has come for DeAndre Hopkins!
