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 Bienemy’s 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 he’ll always cherish the memories in Missouri, he just couldn’t walk away from the money the Miami Dolphins put on his table.

ā€œOnce you go to the playoffs, the game is definitely at a different speed — you’ve got to play at a different level,ā€ Hill said. ā€œJust 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 … It’s just crazy how the game speed changes.ā€

Armstead Is Excited About Hill’s Addition

Armstead is also quite excited about Mike McDaniels’ revamped offense, especially now that Hill will join forces with one of the most promising young wideouts in the league in Jaylen Waddle:

ā€œCome on now — the most dynamic player in the league. Always been a fan of his game, just watching,ā€ Armstead said. ā€œNow having him be a part of this offense, I think we’re building something special. Him paired with (Jaylen) Waddle, (Raheem) Mostert, the speed and then the speed of us on the offensive line — we’re going to try to turn Sundays into a track meet. But a physical track meet, let’s not overshadow that, at all.ā€

The Dolphins still need to get through the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots on their own division, so it’s not like it’ll be a walk in the park. But you have to feel excited about this new-look offense.
