The Dolphins are in the midst of a surprisingly resurgent 2022 campaign. Revitalized by the presence of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, Tua Tagovailoa has looked like a legitimate franchise quarterback. Unfortunately, Miami’s porous defense — especially against the pass — left a lot to be desired.
At the wild 2022 NFL trade deadline, the Dolphins addressed their defensive needs by trading for Pro Bowl-level, former Broncos edge rusher Bradley Chubb.
As news of the trade was made official, Hill happened to be live-streaming himself playing a video game. And when he heard that the Dolphins added a talent like Chubb, the superstar cackled like a delighted madman at what it meant for Miami’s chances at contending in the AFC.

I don’t know where that amazing laugh came from or why Hill unleashed it at that moment, but I’m not going to rain on his parade. That’s one of the best players in football realizing his current team doesn’t want to rest on its laurels. And judging by the Dolphins’ current standing in the AFC (+1300 to win the conference with Tipico Sportsbook; fourth-best) — Hill has every right to be so cartoonishly enthusiastic.
