He recently revealed that one of his goals this season was to set a new NFL record for receiving yards in a season. It’s safe to say that it is certainly possible who comes off the most productive showing of his seven-year career.

Current Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill, a fifth-round pick in 2016 from West Alabama, spent six seasons with Andy Reid’s team and was part of two Super Bowl squads before being dealt to Miami last offseason. He enjoyed All-Pro year in South Florida, totaling career-highs in targets (170), catches (119) and receiving yards (1,710). The Dolphins were a playoff team for the first time since 2016.

In 2020, the Chiefs were coming off a Super Bowl championship campaign. Hill would finish second on the team in receptions (87) and receiving yards (1,276) behind tight end Travis Kelce, who finished with 105 grabs for 1,416 yards and 11 scoring grabs.

Hill led Kansas City with 15 TD catches and paced the team with 17 total touchdowns thanks to a pair of scoring runs. It resulted in a fifth Pro Bowl invitation and All-Pro honors for the third time.

In the team’s three-game run to Super Bowl LV, Hill caught 24 passes for 355 yards vs. the Browns, Bills and Buccaneers, Unfortunately, he never reached the end zone.
