HOUSTON (AP) — DeAndre Hopkins says he arrived to Houston’s game against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in a No. 7 jersey bearing the hashtag “IMWITHKAP” to support Colin Kaepernick and his protests of social and racial injustice because: “he’s standing up for what’s right.”Hopkins was photographed entering the stadium in the black jersey with white lettering and posted the photograph on social media before the game with an emoji of a hand making a peace sign and the word “love.”When asked why he wore the jersey during a news conference after the game Vyncint Smith Jersey White , Hopkins would only say it was because “That’s my homie.” But the star receiver later discussed his motivation for the clothing choice to The Associated Press.Kaepernick created controversy in 2016 when he began kneeling during the national anthem as a way to protest police brutality and social and racial injustice in America. He opted out of his contract after the end of that season and hasn’t been able to get a job in the NFL since. He’s suing the league for collusion.“I support his movement and everything that he’s doing,” Hopkins told The AP. “In my eyes he’s a legend. In a lot of people’s eyes he’s a legend. He’s standing up for what’s right.”Hopkins said he knows a lot of people criticize Kaepernick, but he wouldn’t let that deter him from vocally supporting the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback.“There’s going to be negative things said about him, but I just want to let him know that a lot of people support him, not just (me), but my family, other people on this team,” Hopkins said. “Some people won’t stand up and speak out and say they support him because of what might come behind that. But I know that after this life is done I stood up for something that’s right, not just for where I’m at right now but for people after me.”Kaepernick retweeted Hopkins’ tweet of the picture and wrote: “Appreciate love from one of the best … thank you brother!!!”Hopkins believes it’s “very unfair” that Kaepernick can’t get another NFL job Kareem Jackson Jersey , and exaggerated the number of quarterbacks he played with in Houston before the Texans drafted Deshaun Watson last year to illustrate his point on the subject.“He can still play,” Hopkins said. “I know he can still play … he can win games for an NFL team. I’ve played with dozens of quarterbacks and I can honestly say that I think he belongs in this league.”Hopkins had seven receptions for 91 yards Sunday as the Texans beat the Cleveland Browns 29-13 to extend their franchise-record winning streak to nine games.

Houston Texans - The Rubber Match That'll End A SeasonRed Zone Play: The Houston Texans Are In The Red ZoneNew,4commentsHow far can Deshaun Watson carry this team?CSTShareTweetShareShareRed Zone Play: The Houston Texans Are In The Red ZoneTroy Taormina-USA TODAY SportsWhat a roller coaster the 2018 season has been for Texans fans!When the Houston Texans started the season 0-3 (a sentence you’ve probably read a million times by now), all logic pointed to another year on the outside looking in. Then Deshaun Watson did what he’s done everywhere he’s ever been: He fired up his team and they found a way to win. And then win again. And again. And again.Suddenly, Houston was 9-3, ranked among the top NFL teams of the 2018 season. When Deshaun Watson arrived at the Houston Texans’ facility the first time in April of 2017, everyone could tell there was something different about him. Fresh off his amazing win over the Alabama Crimson Tide in the National Championship Game, Watson just exuded the aura of a champion. Ever since the Texans drafted him shortly after that visit, his will to win has elevated the play of those around him Kareem Jackson Jersey White , just like it did at Gainesville High School and Clemson University. Now, Watson is about to break the huddle for the first time in an NFL playoff game. It’s time to get excited!Early reports have Keke Coutee back in the saddle, DeAndre Hopkins chomping at the bit to show the Houston fans what he can do with a real quarterback in the postseason, and J.J. Watt itching to add to his NFL Comeback Player of the Year campaign.But Watt and his squad will be facing the other contender for that title in Andrew Luck on Saturday afternoon at NRG Stadium. The points for/against margin for the Texans and Colts is ZERO right now, with each having won a game against the other by a field goal. If it’s going to come down to kickball, well, Ka’imi Fairbairn just ended the year as the NFL’s scoring leader (insert “ALL HAIL THE ALL-FIELD GOAL OFFENSE!” chant) Chances are, no matter whether the game ends on a last-second field goal or not, it will take a great performance from the offense Womens Senio Kelemete Jersey , defense and special teams to put Houston in a position for Fairbairn to add to his total of game-winning kicks. If the Texans are to win on Saturday, and Deshaun Watson is certainly going to will that to happen, they need to provide answers to the Andrew Luck/T.Y. Hilton/Eric Ebron questions that have puzzled them for some time. The Indy Star refers to NRG Stadium as Hilton’s “personal playground,” and like it or not, Romeo Crennel’s defense hasn’t be able to do much to rebuke that moniker. Hilton, however, is still dealing with an ankle injury that has slowed him of late. If the Texans can keep him off the field, and if DeAndre Hopkins can outshine him on Saturday, Houston will find themselves on the road next week in New England. Looking ahead Zach Fulton Jersey White , seeing Watson & Co. go into Gillette Stadium and steal a win from the Patriots would be an apt exclamation point on the “The Patriots Dynasty is (Finally) Over” storyline that’s been making its way around lately. Before that can happen, the same young man who walked into the Texans’ training facility and impressed his future teammates will have to reach into his bag of divine gifts and get past the Indianapolis Colts. In some ways, if history is the teacher, the 2018 season mirrors another point in Watson’s career, when he was named the starter in High School: From The Ringer article linked above:Maybe, just maybe, this will be the last time the mantra “Texans Fans: Waiting For Next Season Since 2002” makes any sense. If Watson, Hopkins, Watt Dylan Cole Jersey , Jadeveon Clowney and the All Field Goal squad can get this far, imagine what the future holds. It’s no longer pie-in-the-sky to think that the City of Houston can be home to a champion. First the Houston Astros won the World Series, and now the Houston Texans can win the Super Bowl.
