Our guest is UConn Defensive Back Roy Hopkins from my neck of the woods in Rochester, NY. He was an outstanding athlete who was the first player in UConn Football history to start a game in 5 years.

Carl "Shank" Bond did a run in and it was cool listening to them reminisce. Stories about competing during one on ones as Carl was a receiver and Roy matched up against him in practice. Both guys had speed to go with incredible talent, which was a big reason why Roy became a starter by the 4th game his freshman year.

Roy discussed the toughest receivers he covered during his career being Andre Davis from Virginia Tech and Andre Johnson at Miami. I remember Roy making Superman like plays when he matched up with Andre Johnson who will be in the NFL Hall of Fame.

Shank and Roy both coach high school football now, doing a great job preparing the next group of kids to compete in college. We also shared a few hilarious stories about when Roy and I would carpool to UConn together. He didn't have a license at the time but definitely would have drove better than me! Shank and Roy = High Entertainment value!
