In the biggest football game of the year, and likely the biggest sporting event of the year, a former Longhorn has become one of the most talked about aspects of the game.
He doesn’t play a skill position, and certainly isn’t a quarterback, but Cincinnati Bengals center Trey Hopkins is still a popular subject on Twitter. The reason being because of the extracurricular activities he got himself into with one of football’s most feared players in Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald.
Early in the third quarter of Super Bowl 56, Bengals quarterback Joe (Shiesty) Burrow was left with no options and seemed to be running out of bounds to avoid getting hit. The only issue being the fact that Donald gave him quite the assist as he launched Burrow out of bounds.
This led to Hopkins pushing and causing somewhat of a skirmish between the whole Bengals offensive line and Donald.

As it currently stands, Hopkins and the Bengals have gotten off to a hot start and are looking to close out a victory over the Rams.
