Hopkins is working with the Patriots coaching staff in a coaching role, assisting the wide receivers and personnel department as he transitions to a post-playing career. Robert Spillane, a former Tennessee Titan teammate, praised him as 'a potential Hall of Fame guy' who 'played the game the right way.' Marcus Jones highlighted Hopkins' expertise in route progressions, late hands, and ball skills as valuable assets for the defensive backs. Hunter Henry called him 'one of the best receivers of the past decade' with 'so much production' that players can learn from.
