DeAndre Hopkins Gives Mom, Who is Blind, His TD Ball
DeAndre Hopkins has a tradition that when he scores, he finds his mom in the crowd and gives her his TD ball. His mother is blind and can’t see the game. She was blinded in a vicious attack back in 2002, when a woman threw a mixture of lye and bleach on her after believing her boyfriend was cheating on her. Hopkins’ mom Sabrina Greenlee was left for dead but survived and has been attending all of his games. Last night’s video was super touching. Check it out below:
