Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is coming off his best game of the season with the Kansas City Chiefs.
On "Monday Night Football," the former All-Pro helped Kansas City remain undefeated after defeating Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 30-24.
Hopkins was traded for a mere fifth-round pick, which could become a fourth if the Chiefs make the Super Bowl and Hopkins plays 60% of Kansas City's snaps. It certainly seems like Kansas City won another trade after his latest performance, where the former Clemson Tigers star tallied eight catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns, all season highs.
On Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the win, Hopkins took to social media to post what appeared to be a comparison of himself and quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The image he used was of former New England Patriots stars Tom Brady and Randy Moss.
Brady and Moss played together in New England from 2007-10, though Brady missed the 2008 season after tearing an in Week 1. The duo is well known for the 16-0 regular season in 2007. They were aiming for a perfect year but fell one game short as Eli Manning and the New York Giants defeated them in the Super Bowl.
Still, Brady and Moss were one of the best QB-WR duos of their time. Moss still holds the record for most receiving touchdowns in a season with 23, which he did in 2007, while Brady, in the same year, broke the record for most passing touchdowns in a season (50). That record was broken by Peyton Manning (55) in 2013.
NFL fans did not agree with Hopkins' comparison to Brady and Moss, taking to social media to leave their criticisms.
"Bro played one game against a beat up buccaneers team and think this is him and Mahomes…" one fan said.
