Tyreek Hill's tune on the Miami Dolphins keeps changing nearly as fast as he runs. After months of sending mixed signals about his future in Miami, including cryptic trade suggestions and omitting Tua Tagovailoa from his top five quarterbacks list, Hill is now going all in on the Dolphins’ 2025 outlook.
While asked by Johnny Manziel on his Glory Daze Podcast if the Kansas City Chiefs would continue their dominance this season, Hill didn’t just express confidence—he declared Miami will win the AFC.
“Man, you asleep, bruh,” Hill said. “The Dolphins gonna take that bruh. Taking the AFC. Miami Dolphins take the AFC. Don’t doubt it.”
Hill then drew a comparison to the NBA, pointing to the Oklahoma City Thunder’s NBA Finals win over the Indiana Pacers.
“Anything can happen,” Hill said.
He doubled down with a strong endorsement of his quarterback when asked how a Dolphins-Chiefs AFC Championship Game might play out.
“We all know Tua is the best quarterback in the NFL,” Hill said. “It will be a great thing, dawg. ... It will be a very emotional game for me.”
Hill’s tone has done a complete 180 from earlier this offseason, when he fueled speculation about leaving Miami and made public remarks that left many wondering about his commitment to the team. And while his praise for Tagovailoa might be welcomed, it also contradicts recent behavior that painted him as anything but supportive.
On top of that, Hill’s playoff talk doesn’t quite match Miami’s current trajectory.
The Dolphins are entering 2025 with more question marks than championship credentials. Tagovailoa’s health remains a lingering issue. Hill’s loyalty has been questioned for months. Head coach Mike McDaniel has reportedly struggled to keep control of the locker room. And the overall roster—outside of a few offensive weapons—is still filled with gaps and uncertainties.
If Hill’s prediction is to come true, Miami will need major changes across the board. For now, it reads more like wishful thinking than a realistic forecast.
