Miami Dolphins superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill expressed his desire to sign a new deal with the team earlier this offseason. Still, the ultimate goal for Miamiās all-pro wide receiver is much greater than anything money can buy.
Working out in Houston with trainer Justin Allen, Hill spoke to KPRC2ās Houston Texans beat writer, Aaron Wilson, about the upcoming season, the plethora of young wide receivers breaking the market, and, of course, his desire to get a new contract done with the team.
But first, Hill talked a bit about what brought him to Houston and what heās trying to improve on as training camp nears.
āAs I was going through that workout, I noticed that I had a lot of things that I needed to work on. Iāve been in the league nine years now, and Justin had a certain perspective of certain things that I need to work on. And that was great for me, because Iām always trying to find a way to get better. So, Justin was awesome for me.ā
During his two seasons with the Dolphins, the man they call āCheetahā had his two best years in the NFL, eclipsing 1700 yards in back-to-back seasons for a total of 3,509 yards on 238 receptions. He combined for 20 touchdowns, confirming his legacy as one of the most dynamic playmakers to ever touch the field.
But with so many young wide receivers ā including teammate Jaylen Waddle ā getting #paid the bag, Hill had to be anxious about his current situation, right?!
Not exactly:
Miami and Hill will likely discuss a new extension in the coming weeks or at seasonās end, hopefully agreeing on a reworked deal. If something doesnāt inevitably give, General Manager Chris Grier and Head Coach Mike McDaniel may have to start considering life without their superstar playmaker, but thatās not something anyone wants to think bout right now (especially quarterback Tua Tagovailoa).
In fact, thereās only one thing that Hill truly has his eyes set on:
āThe real goal is to win the Super Bowl. Itās cool to get paid, but being able to win a Super Bowl and bring something special to the city of Miami thatās something that can live with us forever. I believe thatās very monumental for all of us.ā
As both Wilson and Hill say, itās time to #CreateGreatness.
Do you think the Miami Dolphins should extend wide receiver Tyreek Hill? Could Jaylen Waddle be ready to take the next step as Miamiās WR1? Is this the year the Dolphins finally win the AFC East and compete for an AFC Championship? Let us know in the comments section below!
