DeAndre Hopkins is not only an elite-class receiver, but he’s a classy dude as well. The Houston Texans fired head coach Bill O’Brien on Monday afternoon after an 0-4 start to their season.
O’Brien had a bunch of terrible roster moves during his time with the Texans, with the worst coming by way of trading superstar wideout DeAndre Hopkins (AND a fourth-round pick) to the Arizona Cardinals for running back David Johnson and a second-round pick, and a future fourth rounder.
Hopkins took the classy route in response to him being fired.
On Instagram, he did have himself a laugh when social media users saw that he ‘liked’ a tweet that said the Texans were on the phone trying desperately to get Hopkins back on the team now that O’Brien has been fired.
The firing of O’Brien came a few months too late.
