Miami Dolphins celebrity large receiver Tyreek Hill has actually made some headlines this offseason. And his newest remarks on No. 2 general decide Travis Hunter will add to that rising assortment.
Whereas hanging out with common streamers Adin Ross and N3on, Hill was requested what he thinks about Hunter.
“He’s gonna be ass,” Hill replied.
It’s unclear if he was joking—it actually didn’t look like it. The reply got here out method too quick. However later within the stream, the 31-year-old speedster clarified that he thinks Hunter shall be a “dawg” and an important participant within the NFL.
There was loads of skepticism surrounding Hunter. On-line conspiracy theorists are satisfied his new spouse has cheated on him. There are various doubters, probably together with Hill, about his skill to play each side of the soccer within the NFL like he did throughout his school profession at Jackson State and Colorado.
Most just lately, just a few of Hunter’s routes have gone viral on social media for being … tough.
Hunter fairly actually received the Heisman Trophy final season due to his heroic efforts at receiver and cornerback. He was a giant motive the Buffaloes had been in a position to flip issues round below Deion Sanders. In two seasons at Colorado, Hunter recorded slightly below 2,000 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns—removed from “ass.”
Perhaps Hill was simply trolling and genuinely joking. But when he wasn’t, he’s most likely basing his take off just a few ugly routes on a grainy social media video from considered one of Hunter’s first NFL practices ever. That feels unfair.
Regardless of each groups enjoying in Florida, the Dolphins and the Jaguars are in several divisions. So Hill’s jab at Hunter was actually unprompted. Sadly, the 2 groups don’t play one another this season. It might have been enjoyable to see Hill run routes in opposition to Hunter at defensive again—assuming Jacksonville will let him check out each positions as a rookie.
The Jaguars traded fairly the haul to leap up three slots within the 2025 NFL Draft to pick him. Their first-round decide in 2026 belongs to the Cleveland Browns due to Hunter, they usually additionally traded the No. 36 general decide, which turned out to be Ohio State working again Quinshon Judkins.
Greater than anyone else, new Jaguars normal supervisor James Gladstone shall be hoping that Hill’s prediction is useless mistaken. If the Jaguars wrestle and Hunter flops, they received’t actually have a first-round choice subsequent yr to rectify it.
