DeAndre Hopkins is set to land a new coaching job

Hopkins is exploring a coaching career after 13 NFL seasons and 22 catches last year, reports said.

  • On Friday, DeAndre Hopkins joined Georgia Tech's football staff as an assistant wide receivers coach, the program announced. The 34-year-old former NFL star transitions to coaching after spending time with the New England Patriots.
  • Hopkins spent the past week observing Patriots training camp to evaluate his future after his 2025 season with the Baltimore Ravens. He has not formally retired from the NFL.
  • Georgia Tech head coach David Key cited Hopkins' "exceptional knowledge" of offense and his longstanding relationship with offensive coordinator George Godsey as key factors. Hopkins will assist wide receiver coach Jafar Williams developing inexperienced talent.
  • The Yellow Jackets lost significant production from last season, with Jordan Allen as the only returning receiver who caught a pass. Hopkins' arrival addresses a roster relying heavily on inexperienced players.
  • A former Clemson Tiger, Hopkins returns to the ACC where he amassed 3,020 receiving yards during his college career. Georgia Tech opens its season on September 3 against Colorado in Atlanta.
