NFL 2022 off-season saw a surprise trade when the Chiefs sent Tyreek Hill to Dolphins for five draft picks. The 28-year-old superstar, known as Cheetah for his fast moves, received a $120 million deal with a tenure of four years. The absence of Hill has affected the offense of Patrick Mahomes’ team, admitted Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

The 32-year-old said Hills is one of the best receivers in the league. “I think we are about to see this year how good Tyreek is and how good his offense can be without a huge playmaker.”
“There’s no other cheetah like him who blows smoke and acts like there is,” said Kelce.
Why Tyreek Hill was important for the Chiefs?
One of the top pass-catchers, Hill, used to bring in an added advantage to the Chiefs with his speed. His role as a supportive hand helped Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce to play with more freedom. At present, the Chiefs lack some coordination in their game, feels Kelce.

“Best receiver in the league. I have been saying it for the past four or five years, man. He never got the full respect for how good of a wide receiver he was and I think it was because how our offense was one of the best in the league. Pat being one of the best in the league. Me being high up on the tight end board and it was just like us being a tandem why we were so good,” he added.
