Hopkins is the more polished of the two great Clemson receivers. He does a lot of the little things right, making great cuts, great head fakes, and running routes properly to get separation and provide a window for his quarterback. Hopkins also has a solid vertical leap to go up and high point balls to go along with strong hands and the ability to haul in a lot of balls that should be dropped or incomplete. The only question is his top end speed.

Hopkins is another one of the "burner" type WRs. He will leave a lot of CB in the dust, or make a play over a DB. Not a natural catcher but can make most catches. Still can improve his route running. Probaby a deep threat early on more than anything.
