“He Was Mocked as Solely a Returner Before…”: Patrick Mahomes’ Fans Bring the House Down After Tyreek Hill Says Kansas City Chiefs ‘Got Rid’ of Him
Follow Us
The Super Bowl Champion, popularly known as Cheetah, Tyreek Hill, needs no introduction. The 28-year-old WR is one of the most-looked upon talents since his rookie years. He earned the nickname ‘Cheetah’ for speed. Hill played for the Kansas City Chiefs from 2016 to 2021. The rising talent enjoyed a big fan following with his game skills. As a result, it came as a shock for some of his fans when he bid goodbye to the Chiefs and joined Miami Dolphins in the 2022 season.
However, in a new clarification, Hill explained it was not his decision to leave his past team, but it was a call made by the team management of the Chiefs.

Life long Chiefs fan over 25 years. I am grateful for you Tyreek. Not all Chiefs fans hate you or dislike you. I respect what you did and understand the business. He secured him and his families future. No hate all love! Also have a feeling you might be back in KC one day 😉

The talented WR broke this information on Twitter while replying to a fan who said Cheetah’s switching up still hurts him.
Fans in disbelief over the omission of Tyreek Hill from the list
Reacting to Hill’s Tweet, many fans opined that a player of his caliber did not deserve to stand low on a team that did not value his talent. After the Tweet, several fans came out supporting the WR and added that he is at a better place after joining Dolphins.
He was mocked as solely a returner before Mahomes.

Nobody wanted you to leave Cheetah. You were leaving long before you asked for a trade. Everybody knows you bought your home in Miami long before you asked for a trade. You were a great Chief bro. We'll always be grateful. You've earned your rings and your gold jacket. Go getpaid

Many of the fans expressed surprise at the team’s decision to leave out a player with potential as that Cheetah.

A consistent performer in the NFL, Hill got selection for six Pro Bowls in the league. In addition, he is on the NFL’s 2010s All-Decade Team as a punt returner.

Interestingly, Hill represented the US in the World Junior Championships in Barcelona in 2012. He returned with a gold medal in his kitty. The event was a 4×100 m relay. He also won a bronze medal at the 200m race event. However, it is his athletic skills that have helped him in his career to step up and become a vital cog in the team lineup.
As Hill plays a new season for the Dolphins, what isn’t clear is why the Chiefs let go of a quality player in a rush. While it is a matter of the past, Cheetah will be in for some serious hunt as the new season is beginning in two weeks.
