Per the 2008 SMU Football Media Guide, pages 188 & 197, Hopkins "enjoyed an All-Pro NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles from 1983-93." :wink:
Yeah, but other than that, he really got jilted in this year's guide. :oops:

That's what some recent fans don't seem to understand and why I felt compelled to highlight the problem. Wes accomplishments are among the best we have ever had on the defensive side of the football, but was an apparent after thought in comparison to many who have only accomplished a fraction of what he did on the field but had their likeness honored on the pages I mentioned in the guide. He worked for and deserved to have his likeness on those pages IMO, not just some after thought comment about those accomplishments on page 183!
