DeAndre Hopkins got flagged for body slamming a defender and NFL fans loved it

DeAndre Hopkins is one of the best wide receivers in the game because he has some of the best hands in the game.

He also has some strength, as he showed during Monday night’s game against the New Orleans Saints when he picked up Saints CB Marcus Williams and slammed him to the ground.

This happened right after Deshaun Watson threw an interception in the third quarter and Hopkins was called for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty.

But everyone on Twitter absolutely loved seeing this powerful move from the  WR, a move that we usually see UFC fighters or wrestlers pulling off:

Marcus Williams picks off Deshaun Watson. Deandre Hopkins comes in with a body slam tackle. Went full WWE.

I can't really blame Hopkins for that unnecessary roughness. I would use everything up to and including a truck bumper to take out someone who'd just intercepted me.
