The Kansas City Chiefs traded for Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on Wednesday morning, and the All-Pro pass-catcher wasted no time sharing his immediate reaction to being dealt to the reigning Super Bowl champions.
Though the trade has yet to be confirmed by either team, many players, including Hopkins seem to have indicated the deal is done.
On Instagram, Hopkins posted two pictures with the caption “ACTIVATED…” which may be a hint at his excitement to play with Patrick Mahomes.
Take a look at Hopkins’ Instagram post, which was made in the hours after the trade was reported by NFL insiders:

Though Kansas City made significant investments in its receiving corps during the offseason, the Chiefs’ acquisition of Hopkins could prove the most impactful for the team as they look to earn a third consecutive Super Bowl title.
Stay tuned to see if Hopkins will see the field in Kansas City’s Week 8 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
