The Miami Dolphins have a spectacular offence. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill is therefore setting himself an NFL record for the coming season. He has high praise for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Wide receiver Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins is setting his sights on something historic for the upcoming NFL season. “I’m going to break 2,000 yards next year,” he said on his podcast “It Needed to Be Said”.
He has been dreaming of this mark for years. “I have my sights set on the 2,000 yards, before I leave the league I want to break the 2,000 yards and win the Super Bowl one more time. We can do it, believe in it,” the 29-year-old said.
No player in NFL history has ever reached that magic number. The record for most receiving yards in a season dates back to the 2012 season, when Calvin Johnson Jr. finished with 1,964 yards with the Detroit Lions.
Last season, Hill was already on course for that sound barrier, standing at 1,104 yards after nine games. Recurring concussions to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa derailed those plans, but Hill still set career bests with 119 catches and 1,710 yards.
Hill praises Tua: “Most accurate quarterback in the NFL “
Hill’s advantage in the endeavour also lies in the fact that opposing defenses cannot double-cover Hill, as Jaylen Waddle, another exceptional receiver, is on the Dolphins’ squad. This offseason, the Florida team also signed Braxton Berrios and Robbie Chosen – formerly Anderson.
With these additional weapons as well as his quarterback, Hill sees himself well prepared to tackle the historic goal. He has special praise for Tua in this regard.
“I obviously have the most accurate quarterback in the NFL,” Hill makes a remarkable claim. After all, before his trade to Miami, he had played with Patrick Mahomes at the Kansas City Chiefs, where he also won the Super Bowl.
In addition, he had one of the best head coaches in the NFL in Mike McDaniel, and his position coach Wes Welker was a “monster”. Where does he get that from? Welker himself was once a wide receiver for the New England Patriots under Tom Brady and later for the Denver Broncos under Peyton Manning.
