DeAndre Hopkins appears to have made a significant impression on one of the best receivers in NFL history at the Pro Bowl this week.

Hall of Fame wideout Michael Irvin, who coached the Houston Texans star as part of the winning side in Sunday's All-Star game, says Hopkins has limitless potential.

"We don't know what the ceiling is," Irvin said, according to the Texans' official website. "You see the skill set, where he can catch footballs from any place in the world. There is no telling what the ceiling can be. He'll be rewriting a lot of records in the NFL."

Despite some underwhelming quarterback play over his first three seasons, Hopkins has already done well to establish himself among the most explosive pass-catchers in the game.

The 2015 campaign was far and away his most productive to date, as he hauled in an impressive 111 receptions for 1,521 yards and 11 touchdowns across 16 regular-season appearances.

Still just 23 years old, the Clemson product undoubtedly has a bright future at the NFL level.
