After over a decade in the NFL, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is advancing to the first Super Bowl of his career.

Following the Chiefs' AFC championship game victory, Andy Reid explained why the Chiefs' quest for a three-peat isn't 'motivation.'

Hopkins began the 2024 season with the Tennessee Titans, recording 15 receptions for 173 yards and one touchdown in six games. He was traded to the Chiefs in October 2024, where he added 41 catches for 437 yards and four touchdowns in ten games.

Of course, Sanders' high opinion of Hopkins is a big deal because, in his 17-year career as a cornerback, he faced some of the greats, like Jerry Rice, Michael Irvin, and Andre Reed. Sanders even has some of his own experience playing wide receiver at the NFL level, accumulating 60 receptions, 784 yards and three touchdowns.

In his 12th NFL season, Hopkins is hoping to capture his first Super Bowl ring with the best team he's yet to play for.
