Good pitching by DeAndre Hopkins.
So for a while I thought he was going to sign Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots, but apparently he had some interest. Ultimately, though, he decided to bring his talents to Nashville, and it made perfect sense.
Don’t get me wrong, I think Hopkins signing with the Patriots was also a smart decision, but when you imagine an offense led by Derrick Henry and DeAndre Hopkins… I like it. Well, I still have trust issues with Ryan Tannehill, but he’s not that kind of person. bad As a quarterback, Hopkins will need to step up his offense, which will eventually boost Tennessee as a whole.

Expect the Titans to make this season even more exciting with new additions, but that said, they’re still far from a Super Bowl team. But I certainly like the way Tennessee is going.
