Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill made sure to rep his team even though he was nowhere near South Beach at a recent camp that he hosted.
Hill was told that he was in Buffalo Bills territory while hosting a camp in Rochester, N.Y., but the eight-time Pro Bowler disagreed.

“Everywhere is Dolphin territory, baby,” Hill said. “Everywhere.”
The Dolphins and Bills are of course division rivals in the AFC East, but it’s clear that Hill’s love for the Dolphins doesn’t waver no matter where he is located.
A five-time first-team All-Pro selection, Hill has enjoyed some of the best seasons of his career in Miami playing alongside quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
He put up 1,710 receiving yards in the 2022 season and an NFL-best 1,799 receiving yards last season. To top it off, Hill also led the NFL in receiving touchdowns in the 2023 campaign with 13.
Even though Hill began his career with the Kansas City Chiefs and even won a Super Bowl playing with Patrick Mahomes, he’s taken his game to a new level in the regular season in Miami.
Unfortunately, the Dolphins have yet to enjoy the same postseason success that Hill had during his time with the Chiefs. They’ve made the playoffs in back-to-back seasons, but they’ve yet to win a game.
The Bills have had a hand in both of those failed playoff runs, which may be a reason why Hill doesn’t want to give any credit to being in an area where Bills fans reside while at his camp.
Buffalo knocked Miami out of the playoffs in the 2022 season, taking advantage of the fact that the Dolphins had to start third-string quarterback Skylar Thompson since Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater were both injured for the playoff matchup.
Then, in the 2023 season, the Bills defeated the Dolphins in Week 18 to win the AFC East, forcing the Dolphins into a wild-card spot. Miami then got matched up with the Chiefs in the first round, and it promptly lost to the eventual Super Bowl champions, 26-7.
Hopefully, Hill will get a chance to exact revenge on Buffalo this season and lead the Dolphins to a deep playoff run.
Hill is currently under contract through the 2026 season, after signing a contract worth over $100 million with Miami after he was acquired from Kansas City in a trade prior to the 2022 season.
Before his deal is up, the Dolphins – and their fans – would love to find themselves in a Super Bowl for the first time since they faced the San Francisco 49ers in the 1984 season.
