Tyreek Hill is aware that there’s room for improvement.
During a media session at Dolphins training camp on Friday, the star receiver expressed his appreciation for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s candid remarks about owning up to responsibilities following Hill’s controversial “I’m Out” comments at the close of last season.
“I think Tua’s comments were definitely necessary,” Hill mentioned. “He’s clearly the leader of our team, setting the standard, so I’m focused on being the best teammate I can be.”
The 31-year-old Hill stirred conversation after suggesting he might want to leave South Florida following the Dolphins’ playoff exit against the Jets. He later walked back those comments, while Tagovailoa noted last month that there’s a need to rebuild their connection.
“When you make statements like that, it’s not something you just bounce back from easily, even at 27,” Tagovailoa commented at the start of training camp.
The quarterback, now in his sixth season with the Dolphins, added, “It’s still a work in progress.” He further mentioned, “He’s committed to improving and that’s really the first step for me.”
This offseason has been fraught with trade rumors and controversy for Hill, particularly surrounding a domestic issue with his estranged wife, Keeta Hill.
As he enters his fourth season with the Dolphins—after being traded from the Chiefs in 2022—Hill aims to provide support and uplift his teammates.
“I think it’s crucial because football is a team sport,” Hill remarked. “That just matters so much.”
The Dolphins are poised to bounce back after a disappointing 2024 campaign. Despite leading the AFC in yards per play in 2023 with 6.4 YPP (second-best in the NFL), they stumbled last year, averaging only 5.1 yards and ranking 22nd overall in the league.
