A rough season for the Houston Texans has gotten even more embarrassing. Rookie wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has some explaining to do after an explicit video of a hand stroking a penis was uploaded to his Instagram account, and quickly deleted.

The Texans are 2-7 this season, propped up only by the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars, who after earning their first win last week are nipping at Houston's heels. The video was deleted quickly, followed by a tweet that read, "Instagram was hacked , this is his girlfriend he's in meetings with no phone , have some respect ppl."
Hopkins, a rookie out of Clemson, was drafted to help draw attention away from star receiver Andre Johnson. He's had some success this year, pulling in 39 catches for 539 yards and two scores. Week 2 was a massive breakout game, in which he hauled in seven passes for 117 yards and a score. For the year he is averaging four receptions a week.
This incident isn't the first time Hopkins has been in media reports for embarrassing reasons. During the NFL Combine, Hopkins and roommate Mark Harrison, a wideout from Rutgers, were the occupants in a room that was found completely trashed.
At the time, Hopkins' agent Hadley Engelhard told media, "He had as much to do with anything in that room as you did." Hopkins claimed the room was pristine when he had checked out.
"Luckily, thank God, my agent got my flight booked early or it really would've been questionable if I did [it] or not," he said. "My agent got my flight booked early. He told me hurry up.
"I got done before Mark Harrison, so I was already packed. I already took a shower and packed and everything. Mark came in and we spoke for at least 20 minutes about the combine. Then the bellman came in and helped me get my bags out. And I left. That's, honestly, all I can say."
