When Tyreek Hill isn’t torching defenders on the gridiron, the Miami Dolphins speedster is busy staking his claim as the NFL’s undisputed gaming king. In a bold declaration, Hill has proclaimed himself the “best Fortnite player in the NFL,” throwing down the virtual gauntlet to his peers across the league.

“Let’s just start there,” Hill stated matter-of-factly during an appearance on the “Around The Bar” podcast. “Kirk, Ben, [and] other guys across the league, I’m the best NFL player [at] Fortnite.”

And when it comes to Call of Duty, another gaming titan? Hill didn’t mince words about Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson’s skills: “He’s mid, bro. He’s mid, like some of these quarterbacks in the NFL.”

It’s not just talk, either. Hill is backing up his boasts by signing renowned Fortnite star Scoped to his gaming organization, Soul Runner Gaming (SRG). The move signals Hill’s intent to dominate the esports realm, just as he has on the football field. “A New Chapter Bringing Gamers and Athletes Closer Than Ever, Let’s get to work,” Scoped enthused about joining forces with Hill, hinting at the wide receiver’s ambitions to bridge the gap between the worlds of pro sports and competitive gaming.

Hill loves gaming a lot. It is not just a hobby for him, but a de­ep passion. “Fortnite is one of those­ games that will never die­ out,” he explained. The­ reason Fortnite is so appealing to him is that it ke­eps changing and evolving over time­. Hill’s competitive spirit goes be­yond football. He is calling out to other NFL gamers to challe­nge him so he can embrace his title further. Will they step up and try to be­at the “Fortnite King”? Or will Hill’s gaming reign continue­, adding another victory to his list remains a question unanswered for now. But attention does shift to Ocho whose gaming skills were brutally dismissed by Hill.

Chad Johnson is also a gaming guru just like Tyreek Hill!

While Tyreek Hill flexes his virtual muscles, another NFL icon has already carved out a legacy in the gaming realm. Johnson, the charismatic wide receiver known for his on-field antics, has seamlessly transitioned into a bona fide gaming guru.

Johnson’s love affair with gaming is well-documented, with the former Pro Bowler boasting an undefeated streak in FIFA 18 – a feat he proudly proclaimed while challenging fans across the nation to dethrone him back in 2018. “#FIFA18KING,” Johnson declared, issuing an open invitation to gamers brave enough to test their skills against the outspoken NFL veteran.

But Johnson’s impact extends beyond casual play. He’s was named an ambassador for the HBCU Esports League, a role that showcases his commitment to diversifying the gaming industry and fostering opportunities for underrepresented communities. In a fitting twist, Johnson’s gaming prowess has even led to unexpected encounters with fans.

During his cross-country travels, the former Cincinnati Bengals star would show up unannounced at the homes of challengers, proving that his love for gaming knows no bounds. As for Hill’s dismissive “he’s mid” jab at Johnson’s Call of Duty skills, perhaps it’s merely motivation for the self-proclaimed “#FIFA18King” to level up and prove the “Cheetah” wrong on a new virtual battleground.
