DeAndre Hopkins forgets about Kyler Murray and reveals his favorite quarterback
In 2020, the Cardinals decided to give Kyler Murray a new top weapon by trading with the Houston Texans for DeAndre Hopkins. Three years later, the NFC West team is seriously considering if they should continue with the wide receiver for the 2023 campaign.
Hopkins’ stats at Arizona have not been the best. Once the 2022 season ended, reports about his possible exit started to spread out. He has been under the spotlight since then, recognizing that there are other possible landing spots that are very attractive for him.
Now, Hopkins has once again thrown the Arizona Cardinals under the bus. Speaking to the ‘I am athlete’ podcast, the 30-year-old receiver named the quarterbacks he’d love to have throwing him the ball, and the first one was not Kyler Murray.
“One of my favorite quarterbacks I’ve been watching since he came to the league is Josh Allen,” Hopkins said. “He reminds me of old-school, but new-school, Andrew Luck.”
