When at Arizona he seem to often claim knee issues so he wouldnt have to practice, he wanted special treatment, drug issues, cared about his stats over the team winning, set a bad example for his position group, wanted to take a day off every week from practice, etc. Chiefs should have a very strong locker room to try to keep him in line and maybe he'll care about trying to re-establish a reputation? Quotes from a few articles on him and his time in AZ:

"Hopkins, though, came to Arizona with the reputation of marching to the beat of his own drum, often declining to practice on Wednesdays, when all NFL teams begin installing their specific game plans for that weekend’s opponent. When you’re great, sometimes you can get away with that. When you’re coming off a PED bust and more recently, find yourself on a team with an entirely new front office and revamped coaching staff, it’s time to recalibrate things. Choosing not to attend the beginning of offseason workouts this week, even though they are voluntary, wasn’t a good look for Hopkins."

"Hopkins’ knee injury didn’t heal as fast as some thought it would and making matters worse, Hopkins failed a drug test, and it was learned he would be suspended for the first six games of last season for violating the league’s policy regarding performance-enhancing drugs."

"But in what would go down as a lost 4-13 season, it’s also important to remember that Hopkins checked out on his team in the end. He chose to skip the final two weeks, making himself unavailable to finish things off. It didn’t sit well within the organization."
