DeAndre Hopkins

If Hopkins didn’t play on the same offense as a superstar talent like Sammy Watkins, he would be nationally known as one of the nation’s best receivers. Instead, he’s a bit under the radar due to Watkins’ vast shadow. He caught 71 passes for 961 yards and five scores as a sophomore last year, and he should be good for improved numbers in 2012 now that star tight end Dwayne Allen (49 catches for 592 yards and eight scores) is headed to the NFL.
