DeAndre Hopkins drops 2-word response to Pat McAfee's review after Chiefs' win vs Bucs
The addition of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Kansas City Chiefs offense has been noticeable in his first two games. On Tuesday's episode of "The Pat McAfee Show," the former Indianapolis Colts punter spoke about Hopkins being a key member of the Chiefs offense, especially on third downs and in the red zone.
McAfee showed a clip from the October 23, 2024, episode of his show when the Titans traded Hopkins to the Chiefs. At the time, McAfee questioned how the wide receiver was only worth a fifth-round draft pick to which fans and viewers told him the wide receiver was 'washed'.
Hopkins saw the clip from "The Pat McAfee Show" and reshared the post on X with his own take on the trade.

In his first two games with the Chiefs, Hopkins has 10 catches for 115 yards and two touchdowns, his longest catch being a 35-yarder.
Travis Kelce speaks about the impact DeAndre Hopkins has on Chiefs offense
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce gave kudos to his new teammate, DeAndre Hopkins. After Monday's Week 9 primetime matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kelce sat down with ESPN's Scott Van Pelt to discuss the overtime win. Kelce said that having Hopkins is a big addition to the Chiefs offense.
“He is a swag champion and that just juices everybody. It gives everybody confidence. It gives everybody the ability to just play free and trust the guys next to him. It gives Patrick Mahomes somebody he can trust. That’s right. Hop is in the building.”-Travis Kelce said in the interview on ESPN
Injuries to the Chiefs offense, specifically the wide receiver position, ravaged the team's abilities the first few weeks. Despite losing Hollywood Brown, Rashee Rice and Isiah Pacheco, the Chiefs remain unbeaten through the first nine weeks.
Now with DeAndre Hopkins as an option to make plays downfield, the Kansas City Chiefs could be on their way to making NFL history by winning a third consecutive Super Bowl title.
