DeAndre Hopkins caught six passes for 87 yards and a touchdown in Arizona’s 17-10 win over San Francisco on Sunday, but it was his first catch that put him in the NFL record books.
Hopkins, who will turn 30 next summer, has 770 catches, the most receptions anyone has ever recorded before the age of 30. With his first catch on Sunday, he broke the mark previously held by Cardinals teammate Larry Fitzgerald, who had 764 catches before his 30th birthday.
Of course, Hopkins did the brunt of that work while wearing a Texans uniform, catching 632 balls in his seven seasons before he was unceremoniously traded to Arizona in 2020.
