He recorded 105 receiving yards with an average of 11.7, winning the Super Bowl LIV. And sure enough, he had his career-high 111 catches in the next season. Despite all the achievements with the team, the Chiefs opted to trade Hill with the Miami Dolphins. The Chiefs couldn’t negotiate Hill’s contract extension, hence the trade in 2022.
