It might have taken 12 years as pro, multiple teams and a trade earlier this season, but DeAndre “Nuk” Hopkins will be suiting up Sunday for the Kansas City Chiefs with a chance to become a Super Bowl champion. The three-time first-team NFL All-Pro and Clemson great is finally on football’s greatest stage.

After seven seasons in Houston, the Texans made the stunning decision to trade Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals for running back David Johnson and a couple of draft picks. It’s a move that the Texans would come to regret – Johnson was off the team after two middling seasons, one draft pick was traded away and another didn’t pan out.

Kansas City Chiefs receiver DeAndre Hopkins is about to play in his first Super Bowl, and to say he's excited is an understatement.
