Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is coming off his best game of the season with the Kansas City Chiefs. On "Monday Night Football," the former All-Pro helped Kansas City remain undefeated after defeating Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30-24. Hopkins was traded for a mere fifth-round pick, which could become a fourth if the Chiefs make the Super Bowl and Hopkins plays 60% of the Kansas City snaps.
It certainly seems like Kansas City won another trade after his latest performance, where the former Clemson Tigers star tallied eight catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns, all of which were season highs. On Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the win, Hopkins took to social media to post what appeared to be a comparison of himself and quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The image he used was of former New England Patriots stars Tom Brady and Randy Moss.
Denny Medley-Imagn Images Brady and Moss played with each other in New England from 2007 to 2010, albeit in the 2008 season when Brady tore his ACL in Week 1. The duo is well known for their famous 16-0 regular season in 2007. They were aiming for a perfect year but fell one game short as Eli Manning and the New York Giants defeated them in the Super Bowl.
Still, Brady and Moss were one of the best QB-WR duos of their time. Moss still holds the record for most receiving touchdowns in a season with 23, which he did in 2007, while Brady, in the same year, broke the record for most passing touchdowns in a season. The quarterback's record has since been rebroken.
NFL fans did not agree with Hopkins' comparison to Brady and Moss, taking to social media to leave their criticisms. "Bro played one game against a beat up buccaneers team and think this is him and Mahomes..
." one fan said. Bro played one game against a beat up buccaneers team and think this is him and Mahomes.
