Hopson’s biggest selling point is *fit-and-forget consistency* at long snapper: the kind of specialist that matters most when snaps are clean, tempo is sharp, and pressure is highest.

If you need a dependable special-teams piece who can blend into the unit and keep the operation on schedule, he profiles as the type of low-drama, high-value addition coaches appreciate.
