Can somebody please post a gif of how well he used his hands on his two sacks. One of them almost made me fall out of my chair (I just can't remember which one). Whichever NFL teams he ends up with will be very lucky.

Can't help with the gif. Just want to say I'm a fan cuz Hopkins is the man. I hope he stays mean and hungry even though it doesn't look like he missed breakfast.
I actually went to high school and middle school with Derrick (Skip) and his brother (Hop). As you could imagine, that's a pretty nasty combo at DT for a high school defensive line. Skip's always been crazy athletic, he played basketball on our high school team which won two 3A state titles in like a three year span around when he was there. If Skip had just a little more height to him, I'd have no doubt he could cut it in the NFL.
Oh and this made me laugh pretty good
Haha every time I see a picture with VTScoop on it I think back to Joe's epic twitter battle with whatshisface.
Looks like a pie man to me!
OK, someone had to do it.
I'm pretty sure he will see some time in the NFL
He just seems a little undersized to me for an NFL DT, similar to his brother. Like I said, I have no doubt the athleticism is there. I think the highest Antoine made it was as a practice squad member (want to say for the Bengals?), but now he's using his VT degree to do stuff with a computer business which is awesome.
EDIT: Hop was with the Steelers, not Bengals. Confused him with Bruce Taylor for a moment.
310 pounds isn't undersized for the NFL
6' is. I mean the way he's playing he should get a shot, but its below prototypical size.
You're right. His height it was I meant. I mentioned it earlier in a previous comment but I didn't feel the need to reiterate. At DT I could see his height limiting his ability to bat passes (see Luther Maddy last week vs Pitt), but I wonder if his height could help him get under the arms of the o-line.
Being a Ravens fan, I know the Ravens signed him and he didn't make the cut down. He was their top FA signing after the draft, so I'm surprised they didn't at least keep him on the practice squad.
What up Ethan? It's Alex!
#MANBEARPIG...seriously though, who do you think is giving Savage more nightmares: #MANBEARPIG or #WHOSEYOURDADI? I think #MANBEARPIG because I can only imagine the psychological horror I would have to deal with from having to watch him come straight at me. At least with #WHOSEYOURDADI you never see him until he hits you.
No way. What you can't see is always more worrying. MANBEARPIG is the terminator you see coming the whole movie. You know he is going to get to you but you can keep running. WHOSEYOURDADI is the Grim Reaper or whatever is chasing people in horror movies. You know its out there but you have no idea when it's going to kill you.
I imagine this is what opposing offenses feel, whenever the LunchPail faces them:
+1 for the Slap Shot throwback.
I'm laughing so hard I'm scaring the kids! LOL!!!
Just saw this post from Skip Hopkins come across my Facebook feed.
That can't hurt VT's defensive line recruiting right?
This.is.awesome.
