Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders can be found these days on social media — specifically X. He has become a "keyboard warrior" of his own, but in a good way in this instance; supporting Titans star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on X.

Sanders chimed in after hearing that NFL executives have doubted his ability to further his playing career.

"I'm betting on DHop and I don't BET," Sanders said.

Hopkins is entering year No. 12 and has accumulated many accolades, being a three-time First-Time All-Pro, a two-time Second-Team All-Pro, a five-time Pro Bowler, and the 2017 NFL leader for receiving touchdowns.

There's still so much time left for Hopkins to fulfill his playing days, even more so than he has already. None of the doubters, fans, and NFL executives will stop him from doing so.

An anonymous NFL executive spoke out about DeAndre Hopkins

Bleacher Report's Scott Polacek dove deep into this situation and included a statement from an unnamed executive regarding Hopkins' ability to play any longer.

"Still great hands, he is not going to separate, not much of a deep threat, but very strong, and makes contested catches as well as anyone in the NFL," the exec said. "Does not love to practice—I can't imagine that'll get any better."

There is so much doubt and zero confidence that it almost feels like a hate comment — something you'd come across while scrolling through social media.

Regardless, this kind of stuff is basic for an athlete like Hopkins, as he's been through the phase of handling naysayers — it's all part of it, nothing new.

The good thing is that No. 10 is being cheered on by one of the game's greatest players of all time, as Coach Prime is right in his corner. If anything, this X interaction is only motivation for greater heights late in Hopkins' life.
