Overview
- Georgia Tech announced on Friday that three-time All-Pro DeAndre Hopkins will be an assistant wide receivers coach for the Yellow Jackets.
- Hopkins spent several days earlier this week working in a temporary coaching role with the New England Patriots and left that Foxborough stint after a brief visit.
- Hopkins publicly posted that he has not retired from the NFL, keeping open the possibility of returning to play while beginning a coaching path.
- The job reconnects Hopkins with George Godsey, who coached him in Houston and worked with him on the Baltimore staff last season, and is expected to shape Hopkins’s on-field and teaching duties.
- Hopkins is a 13-season veteran whose production fell to career lows in 2025, and Georgia Tech gains immediate recruiting and developmental credibility from his experience as a top NFL receiver.
