'I'm the Cheetah, man': Tyreek Hill brings swagger, speed to Miami ... (USA TODAY)

In Tyreek Hill, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel now has his Deebo Samuel, the multi-talented receiver/running back he coached with the 49ers.

“Tua is one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the NFL,” Hill said. “Maybe even a race, man,” Hill said. “He just said, ‘Just gear up, ‘Reek,’” Hill said of McDaniel. “I’ll just say this: the way he utilized Deebo Samuel in that offense was crazy, right? “The person who taught me that was my mom and dad,” Hill said. The Hill acquisition wasn’t made by the Dolphins in a vacuum. “We talked to Mike McDaniel beforehand and Chris (GM Chris Grier) about what his role would be and just looking at Deebo Samuel’s role,” Rosenhaus said. “I almost teared up (at the Dolphins’ offer). Just having that moment, my agent wanted me to kiss him in the mouth. Seated right in front of him, Mom responded by telling him to do his best. Because if you don’t got the swagger, you don’t got none of that.” Because look — dropped passes and getting hit hard, you’ve got to have the swagger, my dawg. "C'mon, that’s what I do, baby,” he said. — all you had to do was listen for as long as that bathroom break.

The addition of Hill gives Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa a true No. 1 wide receiver to aid in his development.

"I worked hard every day to show my appreciation for you taking a chance on me. The $72.2 million total becomes fully guaranteed at the start of the 2023 league year. The deal makes Hill the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history.

Five Things (unknown)

Miami's active offseason continues with a blockbuster trade that brings in three-time first-team All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowl selection Tyreek Hill.

His 67 visits to paydirt are the third-most for a player in his first 91 contests all-time and the third-most touchdowns in the NFL since the start of the 2016 season (Todd Gurley, Derrick Henry). In 2016, Hill had the fastest, second-fastest and 20th-fastest miles per hour in the league. Hill scored a 9.39 in the Relative Athletic Scorecard with elite scores (90th percentile or better) in 40-time, 20-split, 10-split, short shuttle, three-cone, vertical and broad jump. Since 2016, Hill has appeared in the NFL's top 10 fastest top-speeds every year except 2019. "He's really evolved his game, and at the end of the day, whenever he gets into those man coverage situations ... you can always hit him over the top for touchdowns." Enter Tyreek Hill, who's 28 touchdowns on throws of 20-or-more yards since 2016 are the most in the NFL. His video game production has him in the pantheon of all-time receiver ranks to begin a career. He's racked up 2,919 yards after the catch in his six-year career. Hill does it from all over the formation, too. He's added 719 yards and six touchdowns on the ground. Hill is one of the most productive receivers in NFL history. Six years a pro, six trips to the NFL's annual all-star game.

Davante Adams' contract 'flipped everything upside down' (unknown)

Following the trade to the Miami Dolphins, Tyreek Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, explains what happened with his client's abrupt departure from Kansas City.

The Chiefs, I think they had the foresight to see that Tyreek was in the last year of his contract and we weren't going to take a deal that wasn't better than Adams'. So they recognized that this would probably be their last year with Tyreek and this was their opportunity to rebuild at that position. "The bottom line is he was in the last year of his contract -- we had actually worked out a restructure that the Chiefs wanted just a week before," Rosenhaus reiterated. "At the end of the season, I started a conversation with the Chiefs on a new contract extension, and it really was heading in the direction of slowly but surely working out a new deal for Tyreek," Rosenhaus said.
