It has been a tumultuous 2017 NFL season for the injury-riddled Houston Texans. One of their only few bright spots this year has been the spectacular play of star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

Despite the Texans quarterback carousel that went on early in the year, Hopkins managed to put up All-Pro numbers yet again. Having to play with so many quarterbacks can take its toll on even the best wideouts. However, Hopkins is adamant that he is not like other pass-catchers.

“That's not easy, but that's how I was raised, to work and come out and don't make any excuses no matter who's throwing you the ball because you see other guys, statistically, when their quarterback goes down, whatever they're doing, their stats go down,” Hopkins said. “I can't be that guy because I've had to play with multiple quarterbacks my whole career, so I know how to adjust on the fly.”

DeAndre Hopkins currently paces all wide receivers with a league-leading 11 touchdown catches. So far this season, he has recorded 88 receptions for 1,233 yards.

The one-time Pro Bowler is hoping to keep it going this week against the formidable Jacksonville Jaguars secondary. Although Hopkins recently missed practice with a toe injury, he is still in line to play this Sunday.
