Tyreek Hill, born on March 1, 1994, in Douglas, Georgia, is a professional American football wide receiver currently playing for the Miami Dolphins in the NFL. Before entering the NFL, Hill played college football at Garden City, Oklahoma State, and West Alabama. He was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
Hill is renowned for his exceptional speed, earning him the nickname “Cheetah.” Throughout his career, he has been selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his eight seasons and was part of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LIV-winning team. In 2023, Hill led the NFL in receiving yards and tied for the league lead in receiving touchdowns, amassing 1,799 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns.
In March 2022, Hill signed a four-year, $120 million contract with the Miami Dolphins, making him one of the highest-paid receivers in the league. However, the 2024 season saw a decline in his performance, with Hill recording 81 receptions for 959 yards and six touchdowns—the lowest production since his rookie year. This downturn was partly due to injuries sustained by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Following the Dolphins’ failure to make the playoffs, Hill expressed dissatisfaction with his situation, hinting at a possible departure from Miami. He later clarified that his comments were born from frustration and were not formal trade requests. In February 2025, Hill underwent surgery to repair ligament damage in his left wrist, an injury he played through during the previous season. He is expected to be ready for training camp.
Off the field, Hill maintains an active presence on social media, particularly Instagram, where he has over 3 million followers. He often shares personal moments, including family activities with his wife, Keeta.
As of March 2025, Hill’s future with the Dolphins remains uncertain. While he has expressed a desire to explore opportunities that align with his career and personal goals, he has also reaffirmed his commitment to the team. Fans and analysts alike continue to monitor his situation, anticipating updates as the offseason progresses.
