Tyreek Hill has revealed a big secret: he felt jealous of the relationship between Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. According to the wideout, this close bond affected him deeply, prompting his sudden departure from the Kansas City Chiefs.

Last year, the Miami Dolphins decided to acquire one of the best wide receivers in the league. The AFC East team agreed to terms with the Chiefs to sign Tyreek Hill, bolstering Tua Tagovailoa’s offense with an elite player.

Hill recently disclosed that the Dolphins’ offer was highly appealing, with the Chiefs showing no intentions to match it. However, it appears that another factor contributing to the wideout’s departure was the strong relationship between Mahomes and Kelce.

Despite Patrick Mahomes’ presence as a great quarterback on the Chiefs, Hill appears to feel more at ease with Tua Tagovailoa. The wide receiver has now disclosed the reasons behind this shift in comfort.

According to the wideout, he started feeling jealous due to the strong bond that developed between Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce in recent years. Hill mentioned in a lighthearted manner that while the quarterback invited the tight end to his house, he wasn’t extended the same invitation.

“I was hurt,” Hill said on an appearance on the ‘RG3 and The Ones’ podcast. Patrick, you ain’t never invited me over to your house like you did Kelce, that’s why we here where we at now. I’ve never been anybody’s side chick before. I go to KC, now I’m the side chick.”

While Hill’s comment was in jest, there’s a reason behind his mention. Currently, Kelce stands as Mahomes’ primary on-field partner. The quarterback’s challenges with his wide receivers seem to be somewhat offset by the presence of the tight end, and Mahomes deeply values having Travis by his side.
