The full breakdown
Hopper saw almost all of his action on special teams, earning positive marks across four separate kicking units without logging a negative snap. In punt coverage, he secured his protection before hustling downfield to assist on a stop in Q1 (12:45) and knock the returner out of bounds at Q2 15:00. He also held up well as a front-line blocker on kickoff returns, anchoring against inside penetration at Q2 4:48 and sustaining a block to form the return wall at Q3 15:00. With only a single neutral snap on defense, his overall grade was driven entirely by this clean, assignment-sound special teams work.
