Going forward in this offseason, Coach Prime is now backing up DeAndre Hopkins for striking back at his critics. Sanders, often vocal about his takes, has once again spoken out, showing his support for Hopkins’ stance.

Hopkins recently shared an old video on Twitter, calling out “top executives” and mocking their doubts about his abilities. He tweeted, “Remember the articles from so-called top executives saying I can’t play anymore, In Ran We trust.” This tweet was a clear jab at those who had written him off.

Known for his outspoken nature, Sanders has always been quick to defend fellow players, and this instance is no different. By publicly backing Hopkins, Sanders reinforced the message that talent and determination will always speak louder than critics.
