DeAndre Hopkins was predictably pumped to have J.J. Watt joining the Cardinals

It started as an Instagram post from DeAndre Hopkins on Feb. 16, and it ended up with J.J. Watt taking the message to heart.

Nearly two weeks after Hopkins shared a photo of him with Watt in Houston that said “Let’s finish what we started,” Watt surprised the NFL world with his decision to sign a two-year, $31 million contract with the Arizona Cardinals.

While Hopkins’ public recruitment of Watt was largely seen as something that wouldn’t pan out, the All-Pro wide receiver was predictably thrilled to see Watt go with the surprising choice of Arizona over Buffalo or Green Bay.

Hopkins took to Twitter and reacted with a brief clip from Bleacher Report.

He wrote:

“Life is good in Arizona!”

The Instagram post must have worked.
