I'm going to miss Hopkins' production but looking back at past seasons SB winners and their leading receivers I found this:
2019 Chiefs - Travis Kelce 136 receptions on the year
2018 Patriots - Julian Edelman 74
2017 Eagles - Zach Ertz 74
2016 Patriots - Edelman 98
2015 Broncos - Damyrius Thomas 105
2014 Patriots - Edelman 92
2013 Seahawks - Golden Tate 64
2012 Baltimore Ravens - Anquan Boldin 65
2011 New York Giants - Victor Cruz 82
2010 Green Bay Packers - Greg Jennings 76
As much as I'm going to miss the 100+ receptions every year, the amazing catches, losing Hopkins isn't the death nail to the Super Bowl hope for the Texans. All of the receivers above were good those years but it wasn't for them that got the team where it wanted to go; it was spreading the ball around and playing good defense.
I'm getting over the Hopkins thing. I still believe the Texans could have received more for him, it wasn't a balanced trade. But it's over and I'm on to looking for silver linings.
