    like Foster, Hopkins wants you to know how eccentric he is

    RICK, pay this man!

    i really hope the relationship between the texans and hop isn't soured over the holdout thing..

    it would be so houston like, if he were to sign somewhere else...

    I dont think so. Foster definitely wanted everybody to know, to the point of annoyance.

    Hopkins just seems to be, without caring if you do or not. I get a 'If you do, he appreciates it, if you dont, oh well kind of vibe'. Just very laid back.

    Hard to believe he lasted till the 27th pick in 2013. Texans hit late round gold

    In the middle of reading this article, and rather enjoying it, but one picture displayed is cracking me the hell up. Did they not realize Hop's dick in his tight ass suit? I'm ****ing rolling right now. lmao

    I guess I missed it. What eccentricities did DeAndre show us in that article?

    In that article? Without re-reading, none. It was an article about him, his style, and his rise to prominence without being super athletic. It wasnt an interview.

    Hes eccentric by all the stories told by others about him in that article. The way he dresses, the way he carries himself, hell even the music he listens to. How many people have you seen wear a rainbow scarf?

    How is that Houston-like?? The Texans have ALWAYS taken care of their players.....Foster, Cushing, Schaub, Mercilus, Watt, Joseph, Jackson, AJ80, Brown.....every one of them have signed extensions while they were here. Hopkins is absolutely going to sign an extension, and he's going to get paid what he deserves.

    it's a shame Amigo doesn't post here in the Texans forum, otherwise, he might have gotten a RISE out of some of those pics. =)

    Someone did a "2013 re-draft" and had the Chiefs taking DHop number 1 instead of Eric Fisher
