Great to see him at the highest level! While it was good to see he got props, wish they would have said something about Purdue, if he had gone to ND cris and al would have mentioned it three times.
Brycen Hopkins!

Three catches. He's gotten more catches tonight than he did all season. Hopefully this will open up more opportunities for him. Also had a great block on that fourth down run.
He got a ring at least and played a huge role on that last drive. Good for him.
Definitely mentioned Skowrenek was from ND even though he spent most of college years at Northwestern. Never mentioned Hopkins alma mater despite ample opportunities over 4 big catches.
4 catches 47 yards and 3rd on the receivers list in performance. As someone else said in previous response, he may have saved his career with that game. It was clutch when they needed it.
I was rooting for the Bengals, but happy for Brycen.
Other thought was he playing WR in some alignments? I only noticed 1 replay catch and he was an outside receiver. Was wondering if that was planned or in game adjustment of Sean Mcvay to use him like that?

No I did I just hadn’t put two and two together that they both played in a super bowl. Forgot about the 99 titans.
That team was fun to watch. Physical offense and tough defense.
He lined up outside on quite a few occasions. I dont watch the Rams, but I'm assuming they do that regularly with their tight ends.
saw his sister goes to U of Tenn, they must have had some interesting banter during and after the bowl game. Glad to see him do well in the game he was always one of my faves during his time at Purdue. I'm always interested in our recruits that have a great pedigree.
Some Tennessee Titan/Volunteer fans still think Kevin Dyson scored on that last play and the whistle was blown before forward motion stopped
I call that IF'N disease. If'n this didn't happen or If'n this did happen, we would have won. I've had my share of bouts with it.Some Tennessee Titan/Volunteer fans still think Kevin Dyson scored on that last play and the whistle was blown before forward motion stopped
Nobody mentioned the awesome block he had on the DE for the 4th and 1 play where Kupp cut off his ass and rushed for a first down. Blocking and receiving in a Superb owl will get you a contract.
Wasnt Jeff Zgognia on the last play of the game when the Ram defense stopped the Titans in that 2000 Super Bowl?
Those Titans teams were a blast. Since my NFL team is hopeless, I really wanted them to get a ring.
I'd still love to see Mason Gillis run some routes and see what kind of hands he has on the football field.
Nojel should have been a TE.
I’d like to see what he does at lb
He was the top receiving tight end in the Big Ten his senior year. More receptions than Bateman, Olave, and Hendershot. Not bad usage for a guy who was sharing targets with David Bell, and for part of the season, Rondale Moore.
Durham took some redzone targets that year. Hopkins wasnt a great blocker and they pulled him sometimes in the redzone. Dont blame them.
Kind of ironic that a kid whose dad was a Pro Bowl left tackle is known as a weak blocking tight end.
It seemed like Hopkins started every game dropping his first pass. But otherwise was a good receiving TE, I thought we utilized him well for that.
Thanks for the correction, I didn't realize that. I'll issue a retraction: Brycen was used effectively as a TE in the passing game.
