NEW ORLEANS — DeAndre Hopkins listed off his career accomplishments. Three-time All-Pro. Five times a Pro Bowler. Highest paid receiver in league history, twice.

He has been the alpha receiver on practically every team he was on for the first 11 seasons of his NFL career.

"I've been that No. 1 receiver and I've never won," Hopkins said.

Both parts of that statement changed this season. After Hopkins got traded to the Kansas City Chiefs and finally experienced some winning — he was a part of two playoff wins in his first 11 seasons then doubled that total with the Chiefs last month — it came as he was practically a ghost in the offense.

Hopkins has just one catch for 11 yards this postseason. He doesn't have a single 100-yard game with the Chiefs. And he has been smiling wide during the week leading up to Super Bowl LIX. That doesn't follow the stereotype of a star NFL receiver.

"I'm not the type of receiver who's a diva," Hopkins said. "I don't want catches. I just want to win."

DeAndre Hopkins happy to be on the Chiefs

When you're 32 years old and done everything Hopkins has in the NFL, priorities can change.

Hopkins was on a bad Tennessee Titans team to start the season. The Titans didn't have much use for a veteran receiver nearing the end of his career, so the trade speculation started. Hopkins said he hoped to land with a contender. On Oct. 24, a trade with the Chiefs became official. The Titans got a conditional fifth-round draft pick back.

Because the Chiefs have a great quarterback and head coach, and Hopkins has the type of résumé that will get him Hall of Fame consideration upon retirement, it was viewed as a season-turning moment by some.

Hopkins hasn't been bad but he hasn't been a big difference maker. Hopkins averaged 43.7 yards per game in the regular season. He had one big game, with eight catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns on a Monday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but those types of performances haven't been the norm. Hopkins didn't catch a pass and had just one target in the Chiefs' divisional-round win. He didn't do much more the following week in the AFC championship game.

He has made an impact on this Chiefs team in other ways.

"I knew we were getting a good player," Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said. "I didn't know the leadership part. He has been tremendous that way. He hasn't complained that we're spreading the ball around or utilizing other guys along with him. He's willing to share in that way. That whole senior leadership part he has brought, I really appreciate it."

A low-volume role is not what the Chiefs or Hopkins could have anticipated when the trade happened, but Hopkins has adjusted just fine.

"I appreciate being able to go out there and still win the game if it's making a block or making one catch or no catches," Hopkins said.

What will Hopkins' role be in Super Bowl?

Considering Hopkins hasn't had more than 37 yards in a game since November, maybe there isn't going to be a big, memorable game coming for him in the Super Bowl.

And nothing Hopkins said this week indicates he isn't content with whatever role he'll have against the Eagles. As he said, he has carried the load before for an offense and it generally resulted in team losses.

"It's actually been great that you don't have the carry the team yourself, and you have other players on the team that can help you win," Hopkins said.

Perhaps the Chiefs will view Hopkins as a threat in the red zone, where he can still dominate, or to get more underneath targets against a team that rarely gives up receptions downfield.

It doesn't seem to matter. Hopkins wants to experience a Super Bowl win. Hopkins already seemed to be envisioning what might happen Sunday, with his kids on hand to hopefully watch him fill the final hole on a great NFL résumé.

"Hopefully they can play on the confetti after," Hopkins said.
