Clemson took a major step forward in Hopkins's sophomore year, finishing with a 10–4 mark.[21] Hopkins started the 2011 season with nine receptions for 108 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown in two games combined against Troy and Wofford.[22][23] Against Auburn on September 17, Hopkins had seven receptions for 83 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown in the 38–24 victory.[24] On October 22, against North Carolina, he had nine receptions for 157 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown in the 59–38 victory.[25] Nearly a month later, against NC State, he had five receptions for 124 receiving yards in the 37–13 loss.[26] In the ACC Championship against Virginia Tech, he had seven receptions for 92 receiving yards in the 38–10 victory.[27] In the 2012 Orange Bowl, he had 10 receptions for 107 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown in the historic 70–33 loss to West Virginia.[28][29] As a sophomore in 2011, he had 72 receptions for 978 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns.[30] He finished second on the team in the major receiving categories to Sammy Watkins.[31]

2012 season

In his junior year, Hopkins helped lead the Tigers to their first 11-win season since 1981.[32] Hopkins started the 2012 season off strong with 13 receptions for 119 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown in a 26–19 win over Auburn in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game. With Clemson trailing in the fourth quarter, Hopkins had the go-ahead score.[33] One week later, against Ball State, he had six receptions for 105 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns in a 52–27 victory.[34] Hopkins three touchdowns all came in the second quarter, setting a new school record for touchdowns in a quarter.

Professional career

Pre-draft

Coming out of Clemson, Hopkins was considered a top prospect and received an invitation to the NFL combine. He completed nearly all of the combine drills, but was unable to finish the three-cone drill after suffering an apparent calf injury. After the combine, the hotel room Hopkins shared with Rutgers wide receiver Mark Harrison was found to be left in a state where "urine and feces were found around the bathroom, toothpaste was left on the mirror and partially eaten food was on one of the beds," per ESPN. Both players denied responsibility.[48]

On March 7, 2013, he participated in Clemson's pro day.[49] Hopkins attended private workouts or visits with the Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, and had two with the St. Louis Rams.[50][51][52]

At the conclusion of the predraft process, Hopkins was projected to be a first or second round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. He was ranked as the third best wide receiver prospect by NFL.com draft analyst Josh Norris, the fourth best wide receiver by Sports Illustrated, and was ranked the fifth best wide receiver by NFLDraftScout.com and NFL analyst Mike Mayock.[53][54][55][56]

Houston Texans

2013 season

The Houston Texans selected Hopkins in the first round with the 27th overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft.[58] He was the second wide receiver selected, behind Tavon Austin (Rams, eighth overall).[59] Hopkins was the second wide receiver in franchise history to be drafted in the first round, the first being Andre Johnson who was selected third overall in 2003. It was also just the second time in 10 years that the Texans selected an offensive player (the other selection was left tackle Duane Brown) in the first round.[60] He became the highest wide receiver out of Clemson since Rod Gardner went 15th overall in 2001.[61] On July 24, 2013, Hopkins signed a four-year, $7.62 million contract with the team. The first three years of the contract were fully guaranteed.[62][63]

Hopkins made his NFL debut in the season opener against the San Diego Chargers and made five receptions for 55 yards in the 31–28 victory, a game where the Texans at one point trailed 28–7.[64] His first NFL reception came on a pass from Matt Schaub for no gain in the second quarter.[65] On September 15, Hopkins caught a season-high seven passes for 117 receiving yards and scored his first career touchdown reception on a three-yard pass from quarterback Matt Schaub in the Texans' 30–24 overtime victory against the Tennessee Titans.

His rookie season was marred by inconsistent quarterback play by Matt Schaub that led to Schaub's benching after nine interceptions in five games.[70] Hopkins was named to the NFL All-Rookie Team for the 2013 season.[71]

2014 season

In the 2015 season, his usage increased to 192 targets, which ranked third among NFL wide receivers, trailing only Antonio Brown of the Steelers and Julio Jones of the Falcons.[86][87]

Personal life

Hopkins at the gym

Hopkins' father died in a car accident when Hopkins was five months old, leaving his mother to raise him and his three siblings as a single mother.[176] Hopkins credits his success to his mother, Sabrina Greenlee.[176] In July 2002, Greenlee had a boiling concoction of lye and bleach thrown at her face by a woman her boyfriend had an affair with. The attack resulted in the skin rapidly peeling off her neck, face, and back and left her blind. Because of her inability to watch him play due to blindness, Hopkins started a tradition of giving touchdown balls to her immediately after scoring in an effort to remain close to her.[177][178]

Hopkins' uncle on his mother's side, Terry Smith, played wide receiver at Clemson and went undrafted before having a brief professional career.[179]

Hopkins is a Christian. He grew up going to church with his mother and was baptized one day after practice at Clemson in 2012. Hopkins has said, "My faith is a big, big thing for me. It is a major part of my life."

"No matter how hard life can get, you can never give up. Just work hard, live right, and have faith in the Lord."[180]

During his time at Clemson, Hopkins majored in community recreation and sport & camp management.[181] Hopkins holds a SMOOOTH Back-to-school giveaway that supplies book bags and school supplies for over 2,500 children. SMOOOTH is an acronym that stands for "Speaking Mentally Outwardly Opening Opportunities Towards Healing".[182] In 2021, Hopkins went into the cereal business with "DeAndre's Hop Box". A portion of the proceeds of the cereal's sales went to the SMOOOTH Foundation.[183]

In March 2020, Hopkins partnered with Beyond Meat. The partnership started the Feed A Million+ pledge with the intent to donate and distribute more than one million Beyond Burgers across the United States to needy people.[184]

In 2020, Hopkins displayed the name of Denmark Vesey on his helmet as a tribute to the alleged mastermind of a thwarted 1822 South Carolina slave revolt. Hopkins chose Vesey due to their South Carolina heritage, to honor Vesey's sacrifice for equality, and to draw attention to a history that is not commonly taught.[185]
