DeAndre Hopkins sends shockwaves through Bengals-Ravens social media

Yahoo Sports

DeAndre Hopkins sparked speculation on social media after posting a tiger emoji, drawing strong reactions from Ravens and Bengals fans as rumors and theories quickly began to circulate.

So, here’s how we imagine this. March Madness is underway, and former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, a Clemson Tigers product through and through, is likely tuned in, watching his squad dance. Like so many others during this time of year, he takes to social media and drops something simple: a single Tiger emoji.

That’s it. No caption. No explanation.

Just one emoji. It seems innocent enough. There's only one issue here.

One of the Ravens' biggest rivals in the AFC North is the Cincinnati Bengals. You can see where this is headed, right? That was all it took to send Bengals social media into a frenzy.
