DeAndre Hopkins Trade Teasing Bills Mafia? WR's Body Language Put to Test

Actions are currently speaking louder than words when it comes to DeAndre Hopkins' interest in potentially being traded to the Buffalo Bills.

In this story:

Arizona Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins can't escape the trade rumors surrounding his name this offseason.

On the flip side, the Buffalo Bills can't avoid the speculation of potentially adding the three-time All-Pro to one of the league's best offenses.

So, seemingly "trapped" in a corner with no where else to run, CBS Sports put the pressure on Hopkins during the Sport Fishing Championship's The Catch on Saturday in Miami - an event that had multiple NFL players participating - by trying to "catch" him in the act of admitting which of four trade destination he prefers.

Though it was a bit on the spot, Hopkins willingly participated in a game of indirect answering where he had to reveal his level of interest in a potential team by responding with body language only. No words could be spoken.

Despite the weirdness of the game, Bills Mafia should definitely be paying attention to the way Hopkins responded after hearing "Buffalo Bills" in comparison to two other AFC East rivals.

Take a look:

Hopkins put an emphasis on looking disinterested when hearing "New England Patriots" and "New York Jets," but made sure to look directly at the camera with a bit of twinkle in his eyes when hearing "Buffalo Bills" and "Kansas City Chiefs."

The star pass-catcher didn't have to participate at all, but chose to anyways and didn't shy away from hiding how he feels.

Hopkins' trade destination isn't exactly his decision unless the Cardinals want to do right by him. But though NFL fans just want to hear the words from the man himself about where he'd like to land, actions are currently speaking louder than words.
