As shown by the Professional section, Hopkins is no longer unsigned, and this should be changed DrCEOandFounder (talk) 01:53, 12 August 2013 (UTC)DrCEOandFounder[reply]

I went ahead and updated the infobox. However, you are free to make edits like this yourself when you see things that need changing. :) ​—DoRD (talk)​ 12:40, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life section is way too long[edit]

Longer than many NYT articles. We don’t need paragraphs as to his mother’s accident or father’s death; a sentence or two will suffice.—Chimino (talk) 06:57, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Twitter is reliable enough when it "comes from the horses mouth" JokerToker85 (talk) 03:28, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'm too tired to make the edit now, so I reopened the edit request for someone else to do it. p.s., Twitter is NOT a reliable source, but the CBS story should do Xan747 (talk) 02:49, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another source confirming that, but I might wait until he actually signs the contract and makes it official before completing this request. "Expected to" and "has" are rather different. Deauthorized. (talk) 03:57, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Good point, but I think it's ok to say that the deal has been announced and signing set for later this week. So I updated the infobox as "pending", and created new sections in the article with verbiage to that effect. I also used a more recent source containing additional details. Xan747 (talk) 13:37, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Xan747 (talk) 13:37, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Xan747: I'm guessing you're not familiar with policies regarding NFL players. It has been a long standing policy that player pages are not updated with a transaction until the team announces it. Because of that I have reverted the addition of him signing with the Titans.--Rockchalk717 16:15, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I was not aware of that, appreciate you telling me. Xan747 (talk) 17:13, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DeAndre Hopkins[edit]


  • What I think should be changed: Swap the first photo on the right-hand side at the top of the page under his name, for the photo see here:
    DeAndre Hopkins in the gym
  • Why it should be changed: DeAndre Hopkins, the subject of the page, personally requested via his representation that the photo be replaced. Additionally, the photo depicts Hopkins in a Cardinals jersey, a team he no longer plays for.

Jtshutes (talk) 15:33, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's extremely common for Wikipedia pages to have a picture of a player in a former team's uniform, this isn't a problem. Your link also does not confirm that Hopkins signed with a new team. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:33, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated information[edit]

why does it not have him as a Titan? It's been almost a week must be pats fans controlling and are holding out that it's not ture 75.134.219.87 (talk) 13:47, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like even the Titans don't list Hopkins as a Titan yet. Larry Hockett (Talk) 22:50, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DeAndre Hopkins[edit]

Please change the photo at the top of DeAndre Hopkins' wikipedia page from the photo of him in the Cardinals jersey to the one below. [[DeAndre Hopkins Gym|thumb|DeAndre Hopkins in the gym, photo courtesy of DeAndre Hopkins]] aka DeAndre Hopkins Gym

This file should be changed because Hopkins is no longer a member of the Cardinals and he himself has requested this swap. As you can see here: https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/deandre-hopkins-signs-contract-with-titans

It doesn't matter that Hopkins is no longer a member of the Cardinals. It's extremely common for players to be represented with a picture from a past team and it's not an issue. The picture of him in a jersey is a better representation of Hopkins as a football player than the picture of him at the gym. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:44, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DeAndre Hopkins Photo[edit]

Hello. I am a COI editor working with KLUTCH Sports. I am hoping an editor can work with me to revisit the issue of DeAndre’s picture. I’ve reviewed the prior back and forth on the talk page and understand why that request was declined. Below are two options, both newly available in Wiki Commons, showing DeAndre in his Titans’ jersey. I am hoping one of these options will be deemed acceptable since the current picture is several years dated.

 Done I've gone with DeAndre_Hopking_1.jpg as I believe showing the full jersey is more appropriate following the previous edit request outcome. Thanks, Lewcm Talk to me! 20:14, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
