DeAndre Hopkins may not have been on the Deshaun Watson bandwagon from Day 1, but the Houston Texans receiver - along with the rest of the NFL world - is buying the rookie quarterback's hype after an electric start to his career.
"From training camp when he came in and the way he handled himself in the film room, even when in training camp he wasn't getting reps with the ones, he was still learning," Hopkins said, according to Sarah Bishop of ESPN. "He was still going over things, talking about it to us when he got the opportunity, and it's presented itself.
"Nobody in this locker room is honestly surprised with the way he's developed so far."
The Texans have been on an insane scoring tear since Watson took over as the starter, putting up 33, 57, 34, and 33 points in the last four games.
The first-year pivot has scored 14 total touchdowns over that span, and now holds the record for passing touchdowns by a rookie through six games since the NFL-AFL merger.
"Every time we step on the field, we want to score," Hopkins said. "If we don't, then we're disappointed. We don't settle for three.
"We know with the ball in No. 4's (Watson) hands, anything is possible."
Based on Watson's incredible play so far, it's hard to argue with Hopkins.
