A Message of Hope for Young Dreamers

“To all the kids out there living in small towns, in small houses, with single parents,” he expressed on X. “To the kids who see violence, who see loss, who don’t get the resources they deserve, but who still have big dreams—know that I was a kid in your exact shoes, and this week I’m playing in the Super Bowl. Don’t give up, work hard, keep believing. Where you start doesn’t determine where you end up.”
Hopkins’ Journey to the NFL
