Tyreek Hill is one of the most exciting players the NFL has seen in the last decade. The flashy wide receiver became the first player who primarily plays wide receiver to begin his career with eight straight Pro Bowl nods.
“Cheetah” – a nickname that suits him well due to his incredible speed that leaves most of his rivals in the dust – was also named the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team as a punt returner. It’s no wonder that he reached a speed of 22.7 miles per hour in his rookie season, the fasted speed any NFL player had reached that season (2016).
The former West Alabama superstar won the Super Bowl LIV against the San Francisco 49ers in 2020. He caught 9 passes for 105 yards in the game and inspired the Kansas City Chiefs to a 31-20 comeback victory. Hill featured in a consecutive Super Bowl with the Chiefs in 2021 but lost against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Tyreek deuces celebration gets thrown by a quarterback
Tyreek Hill is a big inspiration to younger generations, and not only wide receivers. High school quarterback Maika Eugenio, a standout from Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas, Nevada, paid homage to “Cheetah” during a Lo-Prospects vs. Tucson Turf Elite Football game.
With his team being up 24-7, Eugenio’s team was at the 20-yard line and as he got the ball, the high schooler was not able to find any teammate open for a pass. With just seconds to think about what he needed to do, Maika opted to run to the end zone.
As the 6’0, 185 pounds was leaving the defenders behind, he threw out the deuces sign, which is the ultimate sign of disrespect for a defender and a move that Tyreek usually makes before scoring a touchdown. After scoring, the quarterback took off his beanie, showing that he has no problems of self-confidence.
Does Tyreek Hill wants to reunite with Patrick Mahomes?
It’s no doubt that Tyreek Hill has had his best professional years along superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, legendary head coach Andy Reid and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs. So it’s no surprise that “Cheetah” is not closing the door on a reunion with his former team.
In three years with the Miami Dolphins, Tyreek has racked up 4,468 receiving yards and 26 touchdowns. He’s still one of the league’s top receivers. However, for his own good and for the team’s, his time in Miami may be over. That said, a hefty contract is still keeping him tied to the Dolphins.
After the Dolphins’ final game last season, Hill told reporters, “I’m out, bro.” That definitely upset the team’s front office. Later on, he backtracked and in an appearance on the “Up & Adams Show” in February, he made it clear that he likes living in Miami and is working toward making it to the Super Bowl.
Speculation about a potential exit has only grown, especially after reports that the Chiefs are looking to bring him back to play with Mahomes again. Then, on Monday, he posted the peace sign emoji on social media.
