Interesting stuff from today's press conference:
"The way that you play the game at receiver, there's a lot of different skill sets, a lot of different play styles. DeAndre Hopkins is here with us kind of in a 'just to kind of check things out' as far as what he wants to do as far as coaching. And you'll see him on the field, and whether that's personnel .... And so I use him as an example because he wasn't the fastest receiver, but he had an unbelievable play style and a play strength and a route craft that allowed him to succeed."
On how the situation with Hopkins came about:
"He asked if he could come hang out for a couple of days and be around the coaches and be around the personnel department. And I called the league and made sure that that was going to be okay. And then I invited him back, and that's where he's been the last couple of days, and he'll be here for the next couple of days."
