DeAndre Diss: Former Texans Star WR Fires Back At Team DeAndre Hopkins has let his opinion known this offseason on the Texans Author: Feb 26, 2021 HOUSTON - Eight years into his NFL career and DeAndre Hopkins is considered by many as the top receiver in the game. Finally working with a franchise quarterback in Deshaun Watson, "Nuk" exploded every receiving record in Houston Texans history, finishing with three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. Then, in an instant, he was gone from the Texans. Worst of all? Hopkins still hasn't forgotten his final moment in a battle red jersey. Hopkins fired back at the Texans organization following a tweet from the Arizona Cardinals social media account. In the "trade heard around the world," the All-Pro was shipped out west for running back David Johnson, a 2020 second-round pick and a 2021 fourth-round selection.
