The Facts: As successful as Hopkins was with a career-high 111 catches for 1,521 yards and a franchise-record 11 touchdowns to rank third in the NFL in receiving yards behind the Falcons' Julio Jones and the Steelers' Antonio Brown, the first-time Pro Bowl selection is cognizant of a part of his game he'd like to upgrade. "There's a lot that I need to improve on, YAC, which I finished last in," Hopkins said. "Being a better leader, not getting frustrated when things aren't going my way, just being a leader of this team."
Diehards Line:
Hopkins finished with 201 yards after the catch to rank 118th among all NFL players. His friend and former Clemson teammate, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins, had 125 receiving yards after the catch. Both were dangerous as deep threats though. Overall, Hopkins emerged as one of the top receivers in the NFL last season, averaging 13.7 yards per reception as the Texans' featured wide receiver after former Pro-Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson joined the Indianapolis Colts last year. Hopkins generated 83 first downs and was targeted 192 times while catching passes from four different quarterbacks.
