DeAndre Hopkins quotes Kawhi Leonard in first message to Cardinals fans

DeAndre Hopkins wants the state of Arizona to know that he is a fun guy.

In his first message to Cardinals fans since being acquired in a trade from the Houston Texans, the All-Pro receiver went full Kawhi Leonard, complete with a resounding “What it do baby?”

Hopkins, who pulled down 104 catches for 1,165 yards and seven touchdowns in 2019, was dealt to the Cardinals in exchange for a package centered around running back David Johnson and a 2020 second-round pick. He had spent the first seven years of his career in Houston and will now be getting a fresh start.

While there was some bad blood that seemed to spur Hopkins’ Texans exit, it is all love in Arizona now that the scorned man got a trade.
