Now on his third NFL team in four seasons, veteran receiver Chase Claypool is busy trying to prove to the Miami Dolphins that he’s worth all the apparent trouble he caused in previous stops with Pittsburgh and Chicago.
According to Dolphins superstar Tyreek Hill, Claypool is seemingly succeeding in his latest mission at redemption. Though, I’m not quite sure what Hill means when he tries to endorse his new teammate. Stay with me here.
On Thursday, after Dolphins practice, Hill likened Claypool to a “vending machine.” Uh, OK? I’m positive Hill meant this as a compliment, but … what could that possibly mean? Is it because he’s a large human being at a listed 6-foot-4, 238 pounds? I mean, I guess, but surely there are better ways to describe large people in a complementary way.
I, for one, would’ve perhaps chosen a superhero or a giant tank, for example. But that’s just me.

After catching under 200 yards in his time with the Bears — and failing to produce much of anything of note since his rookie season with the Steelers in 2020 — Claypool’s got a lot of ground to make up in Miami. At the very least, he seems to be winning some of his Dolphins teammates over, even though I’m not quite sure if they know how to describe him properly.
