Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is in his 13th NFL season after playing a crucial role in Kansas City's Super Bowl run last year. He was asked if fans appreciating him online impacts his game."It doesn't motivate me at all," Hopkins said during Sunday's postgame interview. "What motivates me is my mom being blind. My father died when I was six months. Real things in life. That's tougher than these funny games."Love interacting with fans but I think I pay attention more to the people congratulating me and cheering me on than I do the people that sit at home and all they have to do is speak negative about things. So I just like shooting the breeze but it doesn't motivate me at all."Hopkins signed a one-year $5 million deal with the Ravens in March.
