Tyreek Hill, desperate for motivation, fueled by Chiefs Super Bowl run

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is using his former team, the Kansas City Chiefs, as motivation for this upcoming season.

Tyreek Hill and the Miami Dolphins are expected to take a step forward in the 2023 season, perhaps even emerging as major threats to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East. The East division, which for so long was viewed as the New England Patriots and three teams destined for a top-10 draft pick, now has at least three legitimate postseason contenders.

Yet, Hill believes in this group, and for good reason. Miami has one of the best skill position groups in the NFL. But Tyreek knows the Dolphins have a long way to go before they can mimic the success he had in Kansas City.

“Each and every week that we prepared whenever I was with Kansas City, there was never a doubt in my mind that we were gonna lose no game,” said Hill. “We went each and every week thinking that. We could be down 1 point or we could be down 40 points. But it’s the same mindset: we’re going to continue to dominate, we’re going to continue to trust our fundamentals and our techniques to get us back into this game.”

If Hill gets his way, Miami will even the score with Kansas City one of these years. While the majority of the reason for Tyreek’s departure was related to his contract, that doesn’t mean Hill wants to sacrifice on-field success.

“Right now, those boys have motivated me to go do something special in Miami. That’s the beauty about it. That’s why I play this game,” Hill said. “Not saying I wasn’t motivated in Kansas City, but now it’s like an all-time level because them boys just did something without me that I want to bring here to Miami, to bring something special to Miami, so I can say, ‘We were underdogs once! They underdogged us!’”

If Hill can bring that kind of culture to South Beach, postseason success could very well be in their future.
