DeAndre Hopkins explains 'Remember the Titans' TD dance: 'Nothing but love for Nashville'
This story was updated to add new information.
The Kansas City Chiefs traded a conditional draft pick to the Tennessee Titans two weeks ago for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
Hopkins, who had two receptions for 29 yards in Week 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders, had a much bigger impact in the Chiefs' matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on "Monday Night Football." He made two crucial catches in the first half, including his first touchdown in a Chiefs uniform for a go-ahead score.
In case you missed it, Hopkins' celebration after catching his first touchdown referenced the Disney movie "Remember the Titans," which many believed was a subtle nod to his former team.
Hopkins confirmed those suspicions in a social media post on Tuesday, where he made it clear that he had "nothing but love" for the Titans organization.
Hopkins had 75 catches for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns for the Titans last season. After a starting slow due to an ACL injury, he had 15 catches for 173 yards and a touchdown in six games before being traded.
Hopkins finished with eight catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns in the Chiefs' 30-24 overtime win.
