Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is seemingly highly motivated to help lead the franchise to a Super Bowl victory.
“Oh yeah, for sure, so very excited for it, man, but the real goal is to win the Super Bowl,” Hill said. “It’s cool to get paid and all that, but you know being able to win a Super Bowl and bring something special to the city of Miami, that’s something that can live with us forever. I believe that’s very monumental for all of us. Create greatness, man.”
Hill was one of the more productive offensive players in the NFL during the 2023 regular season, at least from a statistical standpoint. He played in all but one of Miami’s 17 contests and tallied 1,799 receiving yards and 13 receiving touchdowns, both of which were league highs.
The 30-year-old led the NFL in receiving yards per contest, too, considering he averaged 112.4. Hill averaged the 12th-most receiving yards per game in the history of the league and just under 17 yards per game fewer than the all-time record set by Wes Chandler, who averaged 129 receiving yards per game in the 1982 campaign.
For his incredible season, Hill received a Pro Bowl nod — the eighth of his pro career — and finished second in the NFL AP Offensive Player of the Year voting and sixth in the NFL AP MVP voting.
Hill helped the Dolphins stake their claim as arguably the NFL’s best offense last season. After all, Miami’s offense averaged a league-high 401.3 yards per game and also ended up with the most total yards in the league with 6,822.
But when the playoffs rolled around, Miami’s offense had a hard time replicating its production during the regular season. The Dolphins scored a season-low seven points against the Kansas City Chiefs and mustered just 264 yards of offense in a game that Miami lost by 19 points.
Hill also had a quiet performance — at least by his standards — in Miami’s playoff loss against Kansas City. He did lead the Dolphins in receiving yards, but he finished the game with just 62 receiving yards — a far cry from his regular-season average of 112.4 per game — and one receiving touchdown on five receptions.
However, Hill’s recent words suggest that he has put Miami’s disappointing stint in the playoffs earlier this year behind him and is focused on helping the Dolphins capture their first Super Bowl title since 1974, which was 50 years ago now.
