What was the first thought that went across my mind after I saw the DeAndre Hopkins comment on the post? The Titans icon wrote two words on Instagram, ‘eternal love’, but it struck a chord. Because it symbolizes a touchdown tradition that he has kept alive for his mom. The bond between a mother and son is perfectly encapsulated by Hopkins and his mother Sabrina Greenlee.
Tennessee Titans’ star kick-started a unique tradition after his mom’s tragic loss of eyesight. The proud momma never saw her son score an NFL touchdown. However, for years, every time D-Hop scores, he gets the ball into her hands. The sentiments behind their actions touched me like millions who reacted to the post with genuine emotions. It is the reason why we recommend you read this before the Titans lock horns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next Sunday.

Around 21 years back, Sabrina lost her vision when a woman threw acid at her face. The single mother of 4 has lived a life of tragedies. She previously was caught up in abusive relationships. Fate gave her this crushing blow, which occurred when young Hopkins was just 10 years old. Over time, she regained her sight by a little, but now it’s completely gone.
