Following an unimpressive college career with multiple transfers and ups and downs, theKansas City Chiefs took Tyreek Hill with the 165th pick of the 2016NFL Draft. He worked his way up to become one of the elite receivers in the league.
Hill played a huge part in Eric Bienemyâs explosive offense. His acceleration, quick first step, speed, and route running often gave Patrick Mahomes a chance to beat the defense in the blink of an eye.
Now, Hill is taking his talents to South Florida to pursue the next step in his career. And, while heâll always cherish the memories in Missouri, he just couldnât walk away from the money the Miami Dolphins put on his table.
NFL News: Tyreek Hill Couldnât Turn Down All That Money
âItâs tough. But someone comes to you with a lot of money, it changes. Your feelings start to changea little bit,â Hill said. âI even had a conversation with Pat (Mahomes).Thatâs my brother for life, no matter what. We donât even got to be on the same team, Pat, Kelce⊠Iâm gonna miss those guys. I know those guys still gonna ball cause they Hall of Famers.â
Terron Armstead And Him Will Elevate The Dolphins, Says Hill
But besides the cash, Hill actually believes that the Dolphins can be special. With him and newcomer Terron Armstead, they now have two players with vast postseason experience that can help them take their game to a whole new level:
âOnce you go to the playoffs, the game is definitely at a different speed â youâve got to play at a different level,â Hill said. âJust having us two guys who have experienced it means a lot for these younger guys. Because some guys may look at it as another opportunity to play the game. But guys hit harder, guys run faster ⊠Itâs just crazy how the game speed changes.â
Armstead Is Excited About Hillâs Addition
Armstead is also quite excited about Mike McDanielsâ revamped offense, especially now that Hill will join forces with one of the most promising young wideouts in the league in Jaylen Waddle:
âCome on now â the most dynamic player in the league. Always been a fan of his game, just watching,â Armstead said. âNow having him be a part of this offense, I think weâre building something special. Him paired with (Jaylen) Waddle, (Raheem) Mostert, the speed and then the speed of us on the offensive line â weâre going to try to turn Sundays into a track meet. But a physical track meet, letâs not overshadow that, at all.â
The Dolphins still need to get through the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots on their own division, so itâs not like itâll be a walk in the park. But you have to feel excited about this new-look offense.
