In the world of NFL excitement, Tyreek Hill certainly knows how to stir the pot. The Miami Dolphins’ wide receiver recently dropped jaws when he listed his top five quarterbacks, and noticeably absent was his own QB, Tua Tagovailoa. Instead, Hill named Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield, Joe Burrow, and his former Chiefs teammate, Patrick Mahomes.
Now, one might wonder why Tua didn’t make the cut, especially given that Hill previously had him in his top five just last summer. Hill himself mentioned that the list was in no particular order, but the exclusion has sparked curiosity and conversation. After all, Hill has supported Tua publicly over the past couple of off-seasons, and the sudden change has fans scratching their heads.
Tyreek Hill’s relationship with the Dolphins has been somewhat rocky, starting with a reported desire to leave the team after their regular-season finale in 2024. While Hill later retracted this sentiment, his social media activity continues to hint at a longing for a new home.
When looking at Hill’s QB choices, it’s certainly an impressive lineup. Lamar Jackson boasts two NFL MVP titles, Josh Allen nabbed the 2024 MVP, Patrick Mahomes has a trio of Super Bowl MVP awards to his name, Baker Mayfield had a career-best season last year, and Joe Burrow threw for a staggering 4,918 yards and 43 touchdowns last season. Meanwhile, Tua has battled injuries, particularly concussions, missing several games in 2024, an unfortunate reality that likely affects his rankings.
As for Hill’s future with the Dolphins, it remains a topic of speculation. Despite Hill’s hints at being open to a trade, Miami’s GM Chris Grier has expressed satisfaction with the All-Pro wideout. Moving Hill would reportedly require at least two first-round picks, indicating the team’s reluctance to part ways with their star player.
Though Hill’s previous season might not have met his usual standards, his impact on the field is unquestioned. The anticipation of whether he’ll begin the 2025 season in Miami adds another layer of intrigue to the Dolphins’ storyline. As always in the NFL, stay tuned for the next chapter.
