To begin with, Hopkins was raised by his mother, after his father was killed in a car accident when DeAndre was a few months old. His mother was later severely burnt when doused with boiling liquid by a romantic rival. He was educated at DW Daniel High School in the small town of Central, and remained connected to his home state while studying at Clemson University. From 2010 to 2012, he represented the team of the Clemson Tigers. Hopkins, alongside the quarterback Tajh Boyd and wide receiver Sammy Watkins formed one of the best offensive teams in college football and broke several records. After his junior season, Hopkins left Clemson for the NFL, as the record holder in receiving yards (3,020) and touchdowns (27), and thus waived another possible year in college.
Concerning his professional career, he was selected in the NFL Draft 2013 in the first round as the 27th player by the Houston Texans, who were looking for a second good receiver at the side of Andre Johnson; his salary was $7.6 million for four years. His first season ended with 802 yards received and two touchdowns, then it should be mentioned that after Andre Johnson left the team in 2015, Hopkins became the star of the Texans, and the same year he won the award for best offensive player of the week in the AFC. He ended the regular season in third place in the NFL both in receptions (111) and in receiving yards (1,521), with 11 touchdowns scored, so being called up for the first Pro Bowl in his career, and for the Second-team All-Pro. In the middle of 2016, Hopkins did not come to the training camp after announcing going on strike to receive a new contract. However, he regularly took the field at the beginning of the season, but could not repeat his numbers of the previous season, rarely finding understanding with the new quarterback, Brock Osweiler, so his regular season ended with 78 receptions for 954 yards and four touchdowns. However, the Texans made the first playoff round when Hopkins scored a touchdown in the 27-14 victory over the Oakland Raiders at the NRG Stadium. In 2017, Hopkins led his team in the NFL with 13 touchdowns on reception, and was ranked fourth with 1,378 yards received, despite having changed with three quarterbacks, so being summoned for his second Pro Bowl and placed in the First-team All-Pro.
