Tyreek Hill is known to be loud and boisterous on the field but a recent video showed a softer side of the Miami Dolphins highly-rated receiver. The video that is circulating on social media showed the NFL star humbled after seeing a series of short clips paying tribute to him from fans around the globe.
“This is all I ever wanted, to be able to inspire people all across the world,” said Hill.
The 29-year-old looked touched after watching the kids sharing their personal stories.
“That made my heart drop a little bit. I used to be that kid. This is why we play. We play to inspire,” added Hill.

One fan commended Hill’s hard work and dedication. Another (speaking in Spanish), said he would like to play like the Pro-Bowl receiver one day.
“Watching you tear up the field is like poetry in motion. Your nickname as ‘The Cheetah’ is legendary,” added another fan.
Hill led the NFL in receiving yards in 2023 and was a contender for the league MVP until the final stages of the season. His extraordinary numbers made it hard to ignore the eight-year veteran. The Dolphins’ wide receiver finished with 1799 receiving yards, 13 touchdowns and 119 receptions.
Prior to his move to Florida, Hill was with the Kansas City Chiefs for six seasons between 2016-2021. Alongside Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, he was a member of the Chiefs side that won the Super Bowl in 2020.
Hill has the honor of being one of the few players to be named to the Pro Bowl in every season he has been in the NFL.
