The Tennessee Titans are set to undergo significant changes in their receiving corps this year with the addition of two new players, Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd. Both players represent major upgrades compared to the talent the team had last season.
While Boyd is a new addition to the Titans, he has familiarity with the offensive system after playing under head coach Brian Callahan during his time with the Cincinnati Bengals. However, Hopkins is facing a new challenge this year as he adjusts to a different offensive scheme under the Titans’ coaching staff.
Hopkins emphasized his commitment to learning and perfecting his role in the new offense, despite the challenges that come with it. He is motivated by the competition brought in by the team’s new signings and is determined to outperform his fellow receivers. Hopkins draws inspiration from his competitive drive and his favorite athlete, Kobe Bryant, as he prepares for his 12th season in the NFL with the Titans.
Despite added defensive attention last season, Hopkins still managed to put up impressive numbers with 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns. He remains a key target for quarterback Will Levis and has proven that he is still a top-tier receiver in the league. Hopkins expressed optimism about the team’s revamped receiving group, calling it one of the best he has been a part of on paper.
