Watch: Redskins K Dustin Hopkins nails wife with kicking misfire

Hopkins is trying to say busy during quarantine, but his wife might be the worse for it with his recent kicking misfire.

Last week we showed you how Washington Redskins kicker Dustin Hopkins was getting some of his strange offseason workouts in during quarantine. This week we’re showing you a bit more of how he’s getting practice in during the social distancing era.

Unfortunately for Hopkins’ wife, he might need a bit more practice.

A new video on Twitter shows Hopkins and his wife kicking around a ball of sorts in their living room when Dustin gets ahold of it and nails her right in the face, ending the short volley. Luckily, it looked to be a soft nerf ball of some kind, and the laughter after the fact portends to the situation being playful and unserious in nature.

Let’s hope that these types of misses don’t pop up for Hopkins once he’s back on the football field, with a real ball in front of him.

Redskins kicker Dustin Hopkins shows off his insanely strange workouts during quarantine

We’ve all probably taken to some interesting workout habits during quarantine, but Dustin Hopkins might take the cake for the weirdest.

With gyms being closed across the country, leaving us to find new and clever ways to work out, nobody can shame you for trying to adapt to your surroundings and stay in shape. It may be that you take to jogging around your neighborhood or lifting household objects to stay toned. Whatever it is, though, there’s no reason to let others put you down for trying to work on your body and stave off boredom.

That is, of course, unless you are Washington Redskins kicker Dustin Hopkins. His wife, Gabrielle, posted a video to Instagram of him…working out? If you want to call it that.

Kickers are often some of the more misunderstood players in the NFL, as their work tends to run separately from the rest of the team. So maybe there is an explanation for this…workout?

Whatever it is that he’s trying to accomplish here, more power to him. It definitely doesn’t look like something I’d be willing to try, and as long as it results in him knocking in more field goals, then we can’t complain.

Dustin Hopkins gets a team of the week nod

Dustin Hopkins caught the attention of onlookers.

The Washington Redskins had a few standout performers in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Most of the attention went to Terry McLaurin, who caught five passes for 130 yards and a score.

But don’t forget kicker Dustin Hopkins.

Pro Football Focus sure didn’t, naming Hopkins as the only Redskins player on the team of the week.

Interesting, though not unexpected for Hopkins, who hit on all two of his attempts on the day, the longest coming from 53 yards away.

There are plenty of problems in Washington but Hopkins hasn’t been one of those, hitting on 22 of his 27 attempts this year, missing on just one extra point and converting two of three attempts from 50-plus yards.
