After legend Andre Johnson left in the offseason, it left a void for Hopkins to fill and he did just that. He was third in the NFL with 111 catches and 1521 yards. He scored 11 times, all this catching passes from four different quarterbacks and having little help to roll coverage away from him. He had 35 more catches and over 300 more yards than 2014 and scored more touchdowns that he did his first two years combined. With Calvin Johnson considering retirement and Dez Bryant constantly going up and down in Dallas, Hopkins has now jumped into the top five receivers in the league with Antonio Brown, A.J. Green, Julio Jones and Odell Beckham as the five best receivers in the league.
