What DeAndre Hopkins recently posted on social media is what being a leader and teammate is all about.
Some questions have been directed his and the team’s way this offseason about third-year wide receiver and former first-round pick Treylon Burks.
Burks has struggled to get his young career going after a couple of rough seasons.
But, his teammate in Hopkins recently showed his support and faith in him on social media.
“The media is the only one sleeping on Treylon Burks, No one in the locker room doubted him or slept on him,” the All-Pro receiver wrote on X.
The media is the only one sleeping on Treylon Burks, No one in the locker room doubted him or slept on him “we are not people” I can’t speak for “people” so Nein he’s never been slept on to us. Thank you come again https://t.co/dLNJl0AbkY

With Burks, he has recorded just 49 receptions, 665 receiving yards, and just a single touchdown combined over his first two years.
Now, perhaps the addition of Hopkins last year and the carousel at quarterback with Ryan Tannehill and Will Levis played a role in that.
Regardless, Burks is looking to have a resurgent 2024.
However, Hopkins, Calvin Ridley, and Tyler Boyd are the three wide receivers that are ahead of him on the depth chart.
But that doesn’t mean he can’t surpass his mark of 16 receptions and 221 yards from last season as WR4.
He has played in just over 20 games combined over his first two years.
So, look for Burks to have a larger role and a more productive one at that under new head coach Brian Callahan.
The 24-year-old is still very young and will have the opportunity to learn from three capable veterans.
He will certainly be one to watch in 2024 down in Tennessee.
