DeAndre Hopkins is expected to join the Georgia Tech football program as a member of its offensive coaching staff, according to a report from Matt Zenitz and Chris Hummer of CBS Sports.
After leaving his coaching trial run with the New England Patriots, Hopkins visited with Georgia Tech earlier this week. The all-time great NFL wide receiver has a long-standing relationship with Yellow Jackets offensive coordinator George Godsey, who coached him with the Houston Texans and, more recently, the Baltimore Ravens.
Hopkins appeared in 17 games for the Ravens in his 13th NFL campaign, reeling in 22 catches for 330 yards and two touchdowns.

Hopkins had originally hoped to take the field for his 14th NFL season in 2026. But with this new coaching job, it appears those hopes may not be realized.
Earlier this year, Hopkins said he would enjoy a reunion with veteran quarterback Kyler Murray in Minnesota.
"Kyler [Murray], that's my bro, man. Kyler is like family," Hopkins told TMZ "Whatever I can do for someone like that — if Kyler needed me, if the Vikings need me, they know I'll be there."

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel talked about the positive experience of working with Hopkins this offseason.
“It was a great experience,” Vrabel told reporters on Thursday. “Hop’s not here, but it was a great experience for all of us. That’s what we try to do when we have some of these unique situations where a player or former player or whatever it might be wants to come in and help and learn and they love football, and I think it was good for everybody.”
