The Dolphins Wide Receiver Tyreek Hill was once a Chiefs star player. He spent six years with the team before being traded to the Dolphins. After an illustrious tenure with the Chiefs, Hill’s arrival in Miami set the stage for a notable transition in his career.
However, what truly ignited intrigue and debate across the NFL landscape were the WR’s bold and controversial comments about his former teammate, the renowned quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Tyreek Hill’s controversial comment on Mahomes
Tyreek Hill made controversial comments in June, comparing his former quarterback Patrick Mahomes to his current quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
He claimed that his new quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, is more accurate than Patrick Mahomes.
“I feel like I’ve got the right tools around me,” Hill said. “I’ve got, obviously, the most accurate QB in the NFL.”
This claim came as a surprise to many NFL fans, as Patrick Mahomes is one of the best quarterbacks in the league right now. He has two Super Bowl wins and many other accolades under his belt. But Hill was all praise for Tua Tagovailoa, admiring his skills and talents.
While fans found this comparison between the two QBs absurd, Mahomes acknowledged the WR’s comments and expressed his continued admiration for the wide receiver.
“I’m surprised a little just because I felt like we love Tyreek here. We’ve always loved him. We still love him.”
The QB said that he understands that these comments are all a way to get more views on his podcast.
“But I’m sure it had something to do with trying to get his podcast some stuff, get it rolling. But definitely, I still love Tyreek. He’s a one-of-a-kind player.”
Although Tyreek Hill completely betrayed his former QB, Mahomes didn’t say anything bad about him and rather emphasized that everyone in the Chiefs still loves him.
