Travis Kelce has been very impressed with DeAndre Hopkins since the Chiefs traded for the wide receiver last week, and the tight end has even given his new teammate a nickname.

Hopkins, following likely season-ending injuries to Chiefs receivers Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown and Rashee Rice, landed in Kansas City from Tennessee last Wednesday in exchange for a fifth-round pick (which could become in a fourth).

And the five-time Pro Bowler has already made his presence felt behind the scenes, as Kelce praised Hopkins’ positivity about him and his brother Jason.New Heights Podcast.

‘It’s incredible man. Having D-Hop in the building, having another vet… I call him ‘Swag Champs,’ Kelce revealed, after Kansas City’s latest win over the Raiders.

‘When you bring a vet into the building and it increases everyone’s confidence. He excites everyone, like the aura and fun you have in the building. He just goes to work, he’s just another guy that you can always rely on to show up and put in the effort, but he enjoys what he’s doing.

DeAndre Hopkins (right) hasn’t been in Kansas City long, but Travis Kelce already likes what he sees in his new teammate.

Hopkins celebrated with Kelce when the TE scored his first TD of the season against the Raiders.

Kelce noted that Hopkins had just two days to work with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and learn the team’s offense before facing Las Vegas.

Hopkins had two modest catches for 29 yards, but Kelce is confident he will continue to improve as he adjusts to his new surroundings.

“He’s a real professional, man,” Kelce said. “He knows how to win football games. He knows how to be accountable. You don’t need to say much to that guy. He gets it. And he’s only made us better already.

Hopkins, 32, had 1,057 yards for the Titans last year along with seven receiving touchdowns.

Hopkins had two catches for 29 yards against the Raiders in his Chiefs debut.

He has surpassed 1,000 yards in seven different seasons during his career.

Kelce, meanwhile, has rebounded from a slow start to the season in which he caught just eight balls in the first three games.

Since then, and after Rice’s knee injury in Week 4, Kelce has gone for 70 yards or more three times and caught his first touchdown of the season last weekend against the Raiders.

The Chiefs are undefeated and will look to move to 8-0 next Monday when they face the Buccaneers.
