The unexpected blockbuster trade that sent All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals has shaken up the football world. That surprise isn't limited to fans and media however as Houston Texans receiver and Hopkins' (now former) teammate Kenny Stills took to Twitter to express his shock.

The trade itself sent Hopkins and a fourth-round pick to the Cardinals in exchange for Arizona running back David Johnson as well as a second-round pick and a 2021 fourth-round pick.

Twitter erupted when the trade was announced with most blasting the Texans for trading arguably the best receiver in football for a running back who hasn't had a productive season since 2016.

With Hopkins now gone, the Texans will rely more heavily on Stills and fourth-year pro Will Fuller as the team's top receiving options.
