2019 Stats: 61 catches, 830 yards, 7 TDs

Projection: Rounds 3-5

Analysis: A quality Big Ten tight end that’s a legitimate receiving threat and a decent blocker. Hopkins is a little bit undersized, but if he can add some strength to his frame and continue to build on his blocking ability, he could develop into a quality player. One of the more NFL ready prospects at his position, Hopkins could be an ideal secondary tight end in Dirk Koetter’s offense in 2020, with a bigger role down the line.
