VIDEO: DeAndre Hopkins Goes Live on Instagram Shortly After Texans Traded Him to Cardinals
By Scott Rogust
The NFL world was shocked on Monday after discovering that the Houston Texans traded star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals for running back David Johnson and two future second-day draft picks. Everyone will remember where they were when news broke of Bill O'Brien's biggest blunder, but how did Hopkins himself react to the deal? He hit the gym, proving to the league just how dedicated he is to his craft ahead of his big move to Arizona.

Hopkins has his priorities straightened out. Considering the new league year will commence on Wednesday at noon, Hopkins is keeping himself in game shape.
Of course, many thought that "Nuk" would concentrate on trying to put the Texans over the edge against the likes of the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots in the AFC. Now, he has to focus on learning a new playbook with the Cardinals, where he will play alongside legend Larry Fitzgerald and young receiver Christian Kirk, with Kyler Murray tossing him the rock.

Hopkins will be playing in 2020 with a chip on his shoulder as he looks to make a statement in Glendale and prove to Bill O'Brien that he made the wrong choice in offloading him.
