Multiple reports say former NFL receiver DeAndre Hopkins is expected to join the Georgia Tech football program as part of its coaching staff. The outlets describe Hopkins as preparing for a college coaching role after a recent period associated with the New England Patriots. One report says he spent time with the Patriots during training camp, while another says he helped out with the team for about a week. While Hopkins had reportedly been exploring opportunities to play in the NFL during the upcoming season, the coverage indicates that he is instead moving to the college sideline. The Athletic specifies he is expected to take a role coaching wide receivers, while other reports describe him as joining Georgia Tech’s offensive coaching staff without detailing his exact position. Taken together, the accounts agree that Hopkins, who is now 34, is transitioning from his pro career to coaching at Georgia Tech. The reports present the move as an expected hire, rather than a fully confirmed announcement at the time of publication.
