Media Statements

"I'm going for 10 - seasons man," the Miami Dolphins superstar wide receiver, Tyreek Hill, explained to Sports Radio 810 in Kansas City, Missouri, last Wednesday. "I'm going to finish out this contract with the Dolphins, and then I'm going to call it quits. I want to go into the business side. I want to do so many things in my life, bro."

"So, I really want to get into, like, the gaming space," Hill goes on to say. "I really want to get huge in that, and that's kind of what I'm doing right now. I'm using my platform, creating a gaming team, which isn't launched yet. It should launch by the end of this month. I'm going to just sign, like, different content creators, different athletes. I just been working that, talking to different sponsors."

Tyreek also did indeed have a strong message for all of the fans of his former team in the Kansas City Chiefs (who are absolutely on the 2023 - 2024 NFL schedule for the Miami Dolphins).

"Chiefs Kingdom, when the Miami Dolphins come to Arrowhead Stadium this year, guess what we gonna do?" Hill emotionally expressed. "Guess what we gonna do? I hate to say it, man. I hate to throw up the peace sign against y'all. I hate to do it! But guess what? I'm gonna be y'all worst enemy that day. I'm gonna be y'all worst enemy that day."
