NFL News: Dolphins fans have reason to believe after Tyreek Hill sends big warning to the rest of the league

It’s a time of renewed energy in South Florida, and many believe this could truly be the breakthrough season for the Miami Dolphins in the NFL. Among those is Tyreek Hill, who has full confidence in both his teammates and the coaching staff to achieve big things starting in Week 1.

The excitement among fans has only grown after hearing from one of the team’s top offensive stars, who, while speaking to the media during training camp, admitted he hasn’t shown his best yet — but is confident he will this season.

“This whole offseason, I’ve been busting my tail,” Hill said, via Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com. “I told my dad — I want to see what it looks like when I just focus on football, on myself and family . . . I feel like I haven’t been giving the best version of Tyreek my whole entire career.

“I’ve always been trying to be here and be there, but me being able to slow down a little bit, train and bust my tail for myself and then also for this community and this team, I feel like it’ll be worth it.”

Additionally, the explosive wide receiver said he thinks that Mike McDaniel‘s team has “a real nice chance to be special here this year.”

A new wave of optimism in Miami

The Miami Dolphins face significant pressure to be AFC East contenders in 2025 after an 8-9 record in 2024. Their aspirations hinge heavily on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa‘s ability to remain healthy throughout the season, a persistent concern given his injury history. The team also aims to fully unleash their explosive wide receiver duo, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, as a cornerstone of their offense.

Defensively, the Dolphins will navigate the season without star cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who was traded this offseason. This departure, coupled with a need for overall defensive improvement, places added emphasis on other key players stepping up.

Under HC Mike McDaniel, a significant culture shift is reportedly underway within the franchise. After a 2024 season where player accountability and meeting punctuality were issues, the focus is now on renewed commitment and discipline.

Start of the season for the Dolphins

Getting off to a strong start will be crucial for the Dolphins this upcoming NFL season, and these are the first five challenges they’ll face in pursuit of that goal:

• @ Indianapolis Colts, September 7th – Lucas Oil Stadium
• vs New England Patriots, September 14th
• @ Buffalo Bills, September 18th – Highmark Stadium
• vs New York Jets, September 29th
• @ Carolina Panthers, October 5th – Bank of America Stadium
