DeAndre Hopkins was in the building for the second day of his visit with the New England Patriots on Thursday.
The veteran wide receiver took to social media with a photo from his visit: a locker room picture with Patriots pass rusher Matthew Judon.
“La Familia,” Hopkins wrote as the caption.
Judon has been making efforts to recruit D-Hop to New England ever since he became an unrestricted free agent.
Take a look at the photo from Hopkins’ Instagram story here:

According to reports from Jeff Howe of The Athletic, there is “optimism” on both sides that a deal will get done sometime in the coming days. The Patriots are on the hunt for a true No. 1 wide receiver, and Hopkins is looking for a new team since he was dropped by the Arizona Cardinals earlier this offseason.
Hopkins arrived in New England on Wednesday for his multi-day visit. He took a visit with the Tennessee Titans earlier in the week.
