Steve Keim strongly denies DeAndre Hopkins's claim regarding positive PED test
Former Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins recently tweeted, then deleted, a claim that he was “ set up ” regarding a failed PED test. Hopkins seemed to suggest that former Cardinals G.M. Steve Keim had a role in it. On Tuesday, Keim strongly denied the accusation. “DeAndre Hopkins recently published and then deleted a statement falsely suggesting that I was responsible for contaminating or manipulating the drug test associated with his 2022 NFL suspension,” Keim said in a statement provided to PFT. “That accusation is completely false. “I did not contaminate, alter, manipulate, interfere with, or cause anyone else to interfere with DeAndre’s drug test or its results. I did not ‘set him up’ for a suspension, and I had no involvement in causing the test result that led to his suspension. “Accusing someone of deliberately interfering with an NFL drug test is an extraordinarily serious allegation. It attacks my integrity, my professional reputation, and the work I spent decades building in the National Football League. The fact that the statement was later deleted does not undo the damage caused by publishing it to a large public audience. “I have retained counsel, Raees Mohamed, Esq., to aggressively address this matter and to protect my reputation and legal rights. The relevant evidence is being reviewed and preserved, and this matter will be handled through the appropriate channels. “I have no intention of engaging in a public back-and-forth or litigating this issue on social media. But I also will not remain silent when I am falsely accused of conduct that I did not commit. “DeAndre’s accusation concerning my involvement in his drug test is false. I unequivocally deny it.” It appears that civil litigation is on the table regarding the claims made by Hopkins, whose allegation was made after Keim’s name surfaced in connection with Mohamed Coulibaly, an alleged scam artist who recently was found dead in the swimming pool at his home. Keim has not yet addressed the connection to Coulibaly or his company, Motion Ventures

Vikings name Kyler Murray starter: Why it was the right move and why Minnesota might need a new QB in 2027
The NFL's most anticlimactic quarterback competition is over. Kyler Murray won the Minnesota Vikings ' starting quarterback job over the incumbent J.J. McCarthy on Tuesday. Head coach Kevin O'Connell didn't even need to see either quarterback suit up in the team's preseason opener against the New York Giants on Saturday to make the call. Murray, a two-time Pro Bowler with selections in the 2020 and 2021 seasons with the Arizona Cardinals , entered as the heavy favorite over McCarthy, the 10th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft . That's because McCarthy ranked dead last in the NFL in 2025 in completion percentage (57.6%), touchdown-to-interception ratio (11-12) and passer rating (72.6). His lack of production last season made him the only first-round pick quarterback since the 1970 AFL/NFL merger to finish last in the league in both completion percentage and touchdown-to-interception ratio in his debut season, per CBS Sports Research. Murray will be O'Connell's fourth different Week 1 starting quarterback since 2023 going from Kirk Cousins (2023) to Sam Darnold (2024) to McCarthy and now Murray. So will the promotion of Murray to the Vikings' QB1 spot break the never-ending wheel of Minnesota's starting quarterbacks across the last few years? Or will Minnesota once again be searching for another long-term answer at football's most important position in 2027? Here's a look at three reasons for each side of the argument. A clear driver in Murray's Pro Bowl-level success as the Arizona Cardinals' starting quarterback in 2020 and 2021 was the presence of a No. 1 option wide receiver in All-Pro DeAndre Hopkins . When he was able to launch the ball deep downfield to Hopkins with regularity in the early 2020s, Arizona's offense took flight, and the Cardinals made a playoff appearance in 2021, something the franchise had failed to do since 2015 when Carson Palmer was the starting quarterback. Without Hopkins, Murray's production was rather pedestrian. In Minnesota, wide receiver talent isn't an issue. He has 2022 NFL Offensive Player of the Year Justin Jefferson at his disposal in addition to former first-round pick Jordan Addison and the reliable Jauan Jennings . Jefferson is the obvious headliner here as one of three players in NFL history to total 1,000 yards receiving in each of his first six seasons -- Mike Evans and Randy Moss being the other two -- but Addison isn't a slouch either. His 22 career receiving touchdowns since 2023 are tied for the seventh-most in the league with Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews . Murray will be well-supported with one of the top receiver trios in football, plus former Pro Bowl tight end T.J. Hockenson . W-L 17-14 21-34-1 Team PPG 27.0 22.0 Pass yards per attempt 7.5 6.7 Passer rating 98.4 89.0 * Vikings WR core: Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings Murray is now playing in the most en vogue offensive scheme in football in O'Connell's Shanahan-tree offense, which features staples like under-center formations, zone blocking and heavy doses of play-action passing and motion. This offensive scheme is designed to make a quarterback's life more simple by allowing them to diagnose a defense more easily through utilizing many similar formations, making the run and the pass look the same. That way a quarterback can rely on the pre-snap motion and play-action plays to find receivers to throw to without having to think as much. Having a playbook that will take some of the heavy lifting pre-snap off Murray's plate could be exactly what he needs to shine once again while executing the 2024 Coach of the Year's playbook. Murray's first seven NFL seasons have been statistically historic. He is one of just four players ever with 20,000-plus passing yards (20,460) and 30-plus rushing touchdowns (32) in their first seven seasons. The other three have all been NFL MVPs: Cam Newton , Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen . Murray's talent in Minnesota's offensive ecosystem could soar in 2 [... truncated ...]

After taking coaching job at Georgia Tech, DeAndre Hopkins says he isn't retired
Yes, receiver DeAndre Hopkins has taken a coaching job at Georgia Tech. No, he hasn’t closed the door on playing in 2026. “ I haven’t retired from the NFL ,” Hopkins posted Saturday on Twitter, via Andy Backstrom of Yahoo Sports. “But if you’re a WR and you want to be great, come to Georgia Tech football.” Hopkins, 34, is keeping himself busy as he waits for another opportunity. “DeAndre is one of the greatest receivers of all time, but his value to our program goes far beyond that,” Georgia Tech head coach Brent Key said in the statement announcing Hopkins’s arrival. “He has an exceptional knowledge of what we’re doing on offense due to his long relationship with [offensive coordinator] George Godsey and strong familiarity with the ACC, but, most importantly, he’s a leader of men that I’m very excited for our players to be around, on and off the field.” Hopkins, who spent time working with the Patriots’ coaching staff early in camp, would prefer not to be around, if that means continuing to play. For now, opportunity hasn’t knocked. Hopkins wants the league to know that, even as he works as a coach, he’s ready to keep playing. A first-round pick in 2013, Hopkins spent seven seasons with the Texans and three with the Cardinals before splitting 2024 between the Titans and Chiefs. He played for the Ravens in 2025. He has 1,006 career catches, 13,295 receiving yards, and 85 touchdowns. And he’s clearly interested in adding to those numbers during what would be a 14th NFL season

Former NFL Pro Bowl WR DeAndre Hopkins expected to join Georgia Tech's offensive coaching staff
NFL Pro Bowl receiver DeAndre Hopkins is set to start the next stage of his career as the 34-year-old is currently expected to join Georgia Tech's offensive staff, sources tell CBS Sports. Hopkins was around the Georgia Tech facility this week visiting with the team. The South Carolina native has a long-standing relationship with Yellow Jackets offensive coordinator George Godsey, who was his offensive coordinator for two seasons with the Texans and also worked with him last season in Baltimore. Hopkins recently concluded a stint working with the New England Patriots , where he spent a few days helping the coaching and personnel staff. He played for New England coach Mike Vrabel when they were with the Titans . One of the most productive wide receivers of the last decade, Hopkins is a three-time first-team All-Pro and a five-time Pro Bowl selection. He spent the 2025 season with the Ravens , catching 22 passes for 330 yards and two scores. Earlier this offseason Hopkins indicated in an interview with SiriusXM that he hoped to play a 14th season in the NFL. "I still got a lot ball left," Hopkins said in June . "But it's not a situation I'm sitting here trying to force or go out and be the regular-season superstar because that's for the young guys, man. That's for the people that they want to develop and give those contracts for the future. "I know in my position, I'm a utility guy. I'm a special situation kind of guy. I can go out there and beat anybody one on one at any time, but as of lately, I've been a third-down guy. I wasn't used in the red zone last year. But (on) third down, they're gonna put D-Hop in, they're gonna come to me. I don't think that'll change anytime soon." Hopkins spent a few days around the Patriots staff to explore if he'd be interested in coaching, per Vrabel . Now, he's set to begin that next career step in Atlanta with the Yellow Jackets. If Hopkins' NFL career is concluded, the former first-round pick will have totaled 13,295 career receiving yards and 85 touchdowns, ranking in the top 20 all time in both categories. He spent time with the Texans, Cardinals , Titans, Chiefs and Ravens in his career. Hopkins was an All-American wide receiver at Clemson and is a former four-star recruit from the 2010 recruiting class

Report: DeAndre Hopkins to join Georgia Tech coaching staff
After spending some time with the Patriots during training camp, DeAndre Hopkins has found a more permanent job in coaching. Per Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, Georgia Tech is expected to hire Hopkins as a member of the program’s offensive staff. After departing New England’s training camp, Hopkins has spent time this week visiting with the team. George Godsey, Georgia Tech’s offensive coordinator, was previously Hopkins’ OC with the Texans from 2015-2016. Godsey was also on last year’s Ravens staff as tight ends coach when Hopkins was with Baltimore. If this is indeed the end for Hopkins as an NFL player, he’ll finish with 1,006 receptions for 13,295 yards with 85 touchdowns in 195 games over 13 seasons. He had 22 catches for 330 yards with two TDs with the Ravens last year

Mike Vrabel: DeAndre Hopkins is no longer with Patriots, but it was a great experience
Free agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins’ stint working with the Patriots was a short one. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said today that Hopkins is no longer working with the team after spending the last few days helping the coaching and personnel staff. Vrabel said Hopkins, who previously played for Vrabel in Tennessee, was a good presence during his brief time in New England. “It was a great experience,” Vrabel said. “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.” The 34-year-old Hopkins has said he has a lot of football left and hopes to sign with a contender at some point this season
