Tyreek Hill hasn’t exactly been welcome back into Miami Dolphins camp. Players are still upset with Hill after his outburst he made last year after the Dolphins didn’t make the playoffs. Hill declared he was OUT when the team lost.
Neither his coaches nor his teammates haven’t seem to have forgiven him yet and it was apparent after a disagreement between him and Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel.
Hill commented to reporters about how the Dolphins are using running back De’Von Achane in short-yardage situations.
“Take De‘Von [Achane] out on third down — what?” “That’s my honest opinion. If it’s third-and-short, he’s not a power back. I keep telling him that in the locker room, but he swears he’s a power back. I love De’Von, but if I’m being honest like that’s why you got Jaylen Wright, that’s why you got Ollie Gordon II, for those kind of situations.”
The Dolphins head coach seemed to take offense to Hill’s take and let it be known.
“I thought it was genius reporting by Tyreek, seeing how we had a short-yardage period that very day that you guys were in attendance for, and his suggestion was I guess congruent with [running backs coach Eric] Studesville — that’s exactly how we repped the backs in that short-yardage period that very day,” McDaniel said. “But we thought it was funny that he reported the news that wasn’t news on that practice day in that short-yardage period that you guys were all there, too, for.” he
The tensions between the two seem to go back to when McDaniel called out Hill’s poor play in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs in 2023, which Hill revealed last year, and it continues today.
"He called me out, he was like: 'You're supposed to be the best player in the league... we pay you all this money for what?”
This may explain why the two don’t see eye to eye these days.
