Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill Believes In Himself: “I will break 2,000 yards next year”

Tyreek Hill is determined to succeed this year.

The record for most yards in a season in the NFL is 2,000, which stands out from the others. In the history of the league, only eight running backs have amassed 2,000 yards on the ground in a single campaign.

Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill Believes In Himself: “I will break 2,000 yards next year”

The wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins said on his podcast, “It Needed to Be Said,” that he will become the first player in NFL history to surpass the milestone of 2,000 receiving yards.

The Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson, a former Detroit Lion, holds the record for the most receiving yards in a single season (1,964). Johnson used an NFL single-season high of nine games with over 120 receiving yards in 2012. He played in all 16 games and had an NFL-high 122 catches on 204 targets that season, averaging 122.8 receiving yards per game and 16.1 receiving yards per grab.

Hill has a reasonable chance of surpassing that milestone. Every year of his career, he has been chosen for the Pro Bowl seven times. He has also been named to the 2010s All-Decade Team four times, and in 2023, his first season with the Miami Dolphins following six years with the Kansas City Chiefs, he established career highs in catches (119) and receiving yards (1,710).

If nothing else, Hill demonstrated in his debut season with the Dolphins that playing with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is not the reason for his success.

“I feel like I’ve got the right tools around me,” he said. “I have one of the top head coaches in the NFL, the most accurate quarterback in the NFL, and a monster of a position coach.

So, all I need to do is have the same attitude every day—that I want to improve and break the record, and I actually do want to do so—and have those three things. I thus believe that this is one of those years when I can succeed.

In a quarrel at a marina in South Florida, Hill reportedly punched a 57-year-old boat staffer in the neck before making an offer of $200 to the worker.

The league is looking into the event, but it usually waits to decide on punishment until after the criminal case has been resolved in court.
