Despite the season not concluding as anticipated for Tyreek Hill, the All-Pro wide receiver of the Miami Dolphins, has outlined a rather convincing retirement plan this time. Although retirement is not imminent, Hill has a particular time frame in mind for following a path similar to that of Deion Sanders.

The star wide receiver is 29 years old and has thus far talked about his retirement plans multiple times. Now as he is set to play for the Phins again in the 2024 season, Hill’s after-retirement talks are surfacing once again. Therefore, to address this, during the offseason, Hill shared his plans, along with what career he would choose post-retirement.

Hill also revealed, “I was in Kansas City, I used to be a receiver coach for Lee Summit High North, like every Friday, every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday I go to practice….” actively building his coaching resume. Tyreek also expressed a desire to remain involved in football, potentially in the NFL or Flag Football. However, he sees a bigger purpose in being part of a school, allowing him to impact a broader community. Humphrey hinted at the possibility of Tyreek following a “route” similar to Deion Sanders.

The Ravens cornerback said, “Obviously you are a very media-friendly guy which would mean you’d probably take a very similar route as Deion,” which is coaching at the high school level and engaging in media-friendly activities, creating content, and making videos. Hill, who knew this was coming, acknowledged the similarity, and expressed openness to such a route, emphasizing his passion for content creation and his commitment to maintaining speed despite aging.
