5x Pro-Bowler DeAndre Hopkins was accused of ‘trashing’ his hotel room ahead of 2013 NFL Combine.
Although supporters of Deandre Hopkins may consider the NFL Combine to be one of the less bizarre events on the annual calendar, it’s actually one of the most important weeks for prospects hoping to break into the league.
The supposedly odd condition that DeAndre Hopkins and Mark Harrison’s room was left in after their stay was one such story that made waves in 2013.

There was pee and feces throughout the filthy chamber. According to witnesses, there was toothpaste on the mirror and no attempt was made to wipe up the mess.
Harrison was exonerated, according to Yahoo! Sports via ESPN. Hopkins also denied any involvement in the room’s demolition, according to FOXSports.com.
He had allegedly left the evening before the incident and instructed investigators to look at the security footage.
In the 2013 NFL Draft, he was chosen 27th overall in the first round by the Houston Texans.
In his first season, Hopkins earned more than 800 yards and two touchdowns through the air.
He achieved his first 1000-yard season in 2014, surpassing the mark by more than 20%, and increased his touchdown total.
He made a further improvement in 2015, racking up more than 1500 yards, 11 touchdowns, and a career-high 111 receptions. He lost over a hundred yards in 2016 after taking a step back, but he recovered in 2017.
He accrued at least 1150 and 1300 yards per season from 2017 to 2019 respectively. He spent his final season with the Houston Texans in 2019 after being traded to the Arizona Cardinals by Bill O’Brien.
In 19 games of action between 2021 and 2022, he earned about 1200 yards and 11 touchdowns.
