Recently, retirement talks coming from a fake Adam Schefter account sparked the influence that Hopkins might be hanging up the cleats following his performance in Super Bowl LIX. The report stated that Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters that Hopkins informed the team of his intent to retire following the 40-22 loss in New Orleans.

That was before Hopkins was dumped by O’Brien in a trade for running back David Johnson and a future second-round pick. O’Brien was fired four games into the 2020 season and the start of a three-year rebuild. Hopkins, meanwhile, went on to help the Cardinals reach the NFC playoffs.

When Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles players walk into the Superdome for Sunday’s Super Bowl, some of them are sure to make a flashy entrance. Chiefs receiver DeAndre Hopkins will have a meaning behind his outfit.
