NFL star Tyreek Hill expresses interest in combat sports, fighting Jake Paul

NFL star Tyreek Hill has expressed interest in taking part in combat sports and fighting Jake Paul.

Tyreek Hill might be on the wrong track.

The superstar NFL receiver for the Miami Dolphins said during on the Fully Tilted podcast recently that he would like to give boxing or mixed martial arts a try at some point.

The 29-year-old wants to meet with UFC President Dana White to discuss what it would take to make that transition.

“Just take it to the cage, bro,” Hill said. “That’s why I want to meet Dana White, I want to get in the cage. I want to get in the cage or I want to box.”

And logic evidently tells Hill that he should target as an opponent someone who also has limited experience in the ring or cage. Someone like YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.

Hill said he boxed growing up, which he feels would be enough for him to compete with an opponent who has only nine pro fights (8-1, 5 KOs).

“My first fight needs to be like Jake Paul or something like that, he said. “… I don’t think [he’s tough]. I grew up boxing.”

The problem for Hill might be that Paul has been in the gym for more than five years. He’s still a work in progress but he has some ability.

Plus, even his critics acknowledge that he has been blessed with good punching power, as he demonstrated once again by stopping Andre August in the first round in December.

Paul undoubtedly would jump at the chance to make that fight. It sounds as if Hill would, too, which might be his mistake.

Paul is scheduled to face boxer Ryan Bourland (17-2, 5 KOs) on Saturday in San Juan Puerto Rico, where local hero Amanda Serrano will defend her undisputed 126-pound championship against Nine Meinke in the main event.

Tyreek Hill praises Demarcus Robinson after Rams deal: ‘He deserves more’

Tyreek Hill had high praise for Demarcus Robinson after getting a new deal, saying “he deserves more”

The Los Angeles Rams made a great decision last week to re-sign Demarcus Robinson to a one-year deal. Robinson emerged as the team’s No. 3 receiver last season and will now get a chance to maintain that role behind Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua in 2024.

The deal is a bargain for the Rams, who will pay Robinson $5 million for one season, and even his former teammate Tyreek Hill knows it’s a steal for Los Angeles. After Robinson’s deal was reported, Hill posted on social media that Robinson “deserves more.”

He’s probably not wrong, but clearly Robinson wanted to remain with the Rams and felt comfortable taking $5 million for one year before hitting free agency again next offseason.

Last season, Robinson caught 26 passes for 371 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (four starts). He also caught three passes for 44 yards in the playoffs, which was his eighth straight year of making the postseason.

Hopefully he will make it nine years in a row next season as a member of the Rams.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle responds to trade talk

No. 17 speaks on trade talks.

While the NFL world is a bit slow after the Kansas City Chiefs were crowned Super Bowl champions, the media is already bringing up some wild hypothetical, including former Miami Dolphins general manager Mike Tannenbaum saying the Dolphins and Chiefs should swap wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and cornerback Trent McDuffie.

Fans across social media roasted Tannebaum for the suggestion, and Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill shared his thoughts on the topic.

Now, Waddle, himself, has reacted to the discussions.

Waddle has been extremely successful with the Dolphins. Despite battling injuries last season, he became the first in team history to record 1,000 yards in three consecutive seasons.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill reacts to Jaylen Waddle trade discussions

The Cheetah responds to the Jaylen Waddle trade talk.

Former Miami Dolphins general manager Mike Tannenbaum set the NFL world on fire on Tuesday when he proposed that the Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs should swap wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and cornerback Trent McDuffie.

Fans went crazy in response on social media, but the first Dolphin to share their thoughts on the topic was wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who has been vocal about supporting his teammates since he was traded to Miami from Kansas City just two years ago.

Through three seasons, Waddle has recorded 251 receptions for 3,385 yards and 18 touchdowns. He has the most receiving yards by any Dolphin through the first 47 games of their career, and he’s the first in team history to put up 1,000 yards in three consecutive seasons.

Even before Hill and head coach Mike McDaniel arrived in South Florida in 2022, Waddle was already off to an impressive start in aqua and orange, setting the NFL’s rookie record for receptions (104, which was broken by Puka Nacua this past year).

Hill has three years remaining on his contract with the Dolphins, and it looks like he wants to keep Waddle around with him. Miami should want that as well.

 

Tyreek Hill dismissed Jaylen Waddle trade talk with a bold claim about his Dolphins teammate’s talents

Tyreek Hill is tired of people talking about Jaylen Waddle like he’s expendable.

The Miami Dolphins might be in a state of crisis.

Despite two consecutive solid regular seasons, Mike McDaniel’s bunch has yet to win a single playoff game. Perhaps more disconcertingly, they’ve more or less faded hard down the stretch on both occasions. This has led some people to claim that Miami needs a major shake-up to contend, like perhaps trading promising young receiver Jaylen Waddle.

All-Pro receiver/teammate Tyreek Hill seemingly couldn’t hate an idea more.

After catching wind of Waddle trade talks — at least among Dolphins fans — Hill took to Twitter to rebuke the conversation entirely. He ended up claiming that Waddle, at age 25 and entering his fourth NFL season, was better than Hill at the same time.

Hmm, I don’t know if I agree with that. At age 25, Hill was already a two-time First-Team All-Pro and the No. 1 option on a championship-caliber Kansas City Chiefs team. Waddle is good, perhaps even great at his best, but he’s had struggles staying healthy and disappears for extended stretches far too often to say he’s comparable to his future Hall of Fame teammate.

That said, Hill is just being a good teammate, gassing up his guy. I don’t blame him one bit for going to bat for Waddle like this.

Saints hire Keith Williams as their new wide receivers coach

The Saints hired Keith Williams as their new wide receivers coach. Before coming to the NFL, he was a personal trainer for All-Pros like Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill:

The New Orleans Saints have a wide receivers coach: Keith Williams announced on social media that he has accepted the job on Klint Kubiak’s offensive coaching staff under head coach Dennis Allen. NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill reports that he received a two-year contract with the team.

Williams previously worked as the Baltimore Ravens assistant receivers coach. But before that, he spent two decades working as a personal trainer for All-Pro wide receivers like Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill. He’s also coached at the college level, having worked with Adams (and Saints quarterback Derek Carr) at Fresno State.

So he has a strong resume. The Saints have a number of young wide receivers for him to develop in Chris Olave, A.T. Perry, and exclusive rights free agent Rashid Shaheed, who is expected to return on a one-year deal before becoming eligible for a long-term extension in 2025. It looks like the Saints have filled all their vacancies on offense, but stay tuned for confirmation and any late additions to the coaching staff.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill shares thoughts on Chiefs winning another Super Bowl

The Cheetah shares thoughts on his old team winning again.

The Kansas City Chiefs won their third Super Bowl in five years on Sunday, as they downed the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in a battle that went to overtime.

Kansas City has had an impressive amount of success since trading star wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who had made six straight Pro Bowls at the time, to the Miami Dolphins for a package of picks.

Hill, despite playing for a new team and seeing his former team win two Super Bowls in the two years since he’s been gone, continues to support his old teammates and coaches on social media.

Hill even went as far as to say he was jealous of his good friend Mecole Hardman, who got a congratulations message from former President Barack Obama.

Hill has been adamant that coming to Miami has been great for him, and he’s had two incredible statistical seasons, but he’d obviously like to win a ring in the near future.

If he can do that in South Florida, he’ll be immortalized in the eyes of Dolphins fans and those around the NFL.

WATCH: Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill’s best plays from 2023

The Cheetah’s best plays from 2023.

The Miami Dolphins added one of the league’s best wide receivers in the league two years ago when they traded for Tyreek Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs.

While many people doubted Hill would have similar success in Miami without Patrick Mahomes, the wideout has arguably had the two best seasons of his career in South Florida.

In 2023, Hill tied his franchise single-season record for receptions (119), set a new one in yards (1,799) and led the league in touchdowns (13).

With the Dolphins in offseason mode, their content team has put together a compilation of Hill’s 10 best plays from his incredible season.

Miami may not have reached their ultimate goals this past season, but watching Hill make defenses look silly each and every week was a treat.

Lamar Jackson wins 2023 MVP Award, where did Josh Allen finish?

Lamar Jackson wins 2023 MVP Award, where did Josh Allen finish?

Josh Allen was always considered a longshot to win the 2023 NFL MVP Award and he ended up falling short again.

It’s the third time in his career that he’s been nominated, but the Buffalo Bills quarterback ended up finishing in fifth place overall in the weighted voting. Oddly enough, in terms of first-place votes, Allen was the only one other than the winner to receive a first-place talley.

In the end, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson took home the honor. It’s the second time in Jackson’s career he’s won the MVP.

In the end, here’s the entire final voting results for this year’s MVP Award:
