Tyreek Hill, one of the NFL’s most electrifying talents, has stirred significant controversy with an interesting comment about the Miami Dolphins head coach, Mike McDaniel, months after threatening to quit the team.
The 31-year-old wide receiver, known for his explosive speed and big-play ability, revealed in a now-viral video that his frustrations during the 2024 season ran far deeper than previously known.

“I remember one game I wanted to knock out coach McDaniel…he wasn’t throwing me the ball,” Hill admitted, raised eyebrows across the league and among Dolphins fans as to his temperament.
Known for his passion and intensity, this unfiltered statement offers a rare glimpse into the emotional strain within Miami’s locker room during a season that fell short of expectations at the Hard Rock Stadium.

Coming off a monster 2023/24 campaign, where he posted 119 receptions, 1799 yards, and 13 touchdowns, the Cheetah was tipped to be the class of the wide receivers – even against the likes of the Cincinnati Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase and Dallas Cowboys’ Ceedee Lamb.
But the Dolphins‘ high-powered offensive unit faltered. Injuries, including to their quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, disrupted the team’s rhythm and Tyreek‘s production dropped sharply to 81 catches, 959 yards, and just six touchdowns.
This offensive decline hit Hill hard and appeared to create visible tension on and off the field. Now his viral quote underscores the emotional toll and points to a deeper issue with the team’s offense during Tua‘s absence.
That led to a sensational press conference comment from the Super Bowl champion, following a final day defeat to the New York Jets, in which he stressed he’s done with his time in Miami and wants a new pasture.
“I’m opening the door. Like, I’m out bro… It was great playing here,” Hill had said, as his relationship with the organization and its fanbase became uncertain. Although he later walked the statement back.
Amid the scrutiny, he took a surprising step by turning down the Dolphins‘ team captaincy, a role he had held for three consecutive seasons. This, however, wasn’t born of frustration but of self-perspective.
“I’ve got to prove myself,” Hill said. “This OTAs, training camp, I’ve got to prove myself. I’ve got to show up different. The mindset has got to be different.
“I don’t feel like I deserve it, and if I didn’t get it, I wouldn’t dwell on it. I wouldn’t sweat it because I put myself in that position.”
Who do the Dolphins play in Week 1?
Yet, throughout the turbulence, McDaniel maintained a professional front, particularly regarding his receiver’s offseason recovery, praising his wrist surgery rehab and training engagement.
Whether he can get back to his best form remains to be seen but he’s also slimming down his weight to give himself an extra burst of speed he’s so iconic for possessing.
The Dolphins take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1 on September 7 at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indiana. Hill will hope to hit the ground running with a few touchdowns.
