WR DeAndre Hopkins is Loving Life in Tennessee, With Titans

NASHVILLE – This time last year, DeAndre Hopkins was just settling in on his new team in Tennessee.

Now, the Titans receiver is already facing questions about his future.

On Thursday, Hopkins made it clear he'd like to remain in Tennessee for years to come.

"I love Tennessee, and I love what Miss Amy is doing," Hopkins said of controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk, and the franchise. "I think this is the happiest I've been in any organization, so let that speak for itself.

"(I like) how Miss Amy runs things. It's a great place to be. She is putting pieces together to try and win, and it's exciting."

Earlier in the week, Titans General Manager Ran Carthon was asked about the team's interest in retaining Hopkins beyond the length of his contract, which expires next March.

"He's one of the guys that's on our team, and we've talked about a number of guys on the team to have those conversations," Carthon said. "One thing I appreciate about D Hop is, if you guys have gotten to know him, D Hop is straight forward and D Hop and I, we can have some straightforward conversations, and we have and we do. And so D Hop knows how we feel about him, and I think that's a big thing, especially for a veteran at this stage of his career. I think the way he's shown up here, the way he's bought into a new staff, kind of shows how he feels about us and what we have going."

Hopkins, headed into his 12th NFL season, caught 75 passes for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns in his first year with the Titans in 2023.

Hopkins, who played previously with the Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals, said he feels good heading into 2024.

He also said he feels great about where he's living.

"I'm a country boy, so I grew up on country, I grew up around places like (Nashville), a little smaller," Hopkins said. "It's familiar, being from South Carolina."
