Scout: Like Hopkins more than mid-late first
DeAndre Hopkins - WR - Clemson Tigers
Feb. 12, 2013 - 8:40 AM ET

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler spoke with one NFL scout who liked Clemson WR DeAndre Hopkins more than his projected mid-to-late first-round slot.

The scout "raved" about the Clemson product. Hopkins' best trait is his willingness to go up and get targets at the catch point, with strong hands and good body positioning. He creates separation by setting up his routes, and Hopkins has deceptive long speed.
