Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins sparked chaos among the fan base Thursday by allegedly tweeting that he would rather retire than receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
His comments came after the NFL announced in a memo that it could force forfeits and withhold pay if games can’t occur, as scheduled, during the upcoming season because of a COVID-19 outbreak among unvaccinated players and personnel.
With fans believing his future in the NFL was uncertain, Hopkins put an end to the chaos with a follow-up tweet Thursday night, saying he wants to play at least nine more years.
