Tyreek Hill has some work to do if he’s going to earn back his Miami Dolphins teammates’ trust and confidence, according to veteran offensive lineman Terron Armstead.
“He really wants to win, so when he doesn’t, it bothers him to the depths of his core,” Armstead said of Hill in an interview with talkSPORT. “I know the words that he said after our last game. I can’t excuse him for it, ’cause as a captain and as a leader, you can’t do it. So he has some mending to do with some relationships.
“I talked to him immediately after and he was regretful. He knew ‘I can’t go there, I can’t do that.’ As we rode together going to the plane, he was immediately aware — especially in today’s age, once you say anything or put out a tweet, it’s all over the world now.”
If Hill was regretful for saying he was ready to leave Miami, he didn’t act like it on social media. The receiver temporarily changed his profile picture on X to an image with his head superimposed on the body of Antonio Brown, who infamously quit on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the middle of a game in 2022.
A couple weeks after the Dolphins season ended, Hill said on a Twitch stream, “I deserve to feel like that.”
What Armstead also didn’t mention in his interview is that Hill appeared to quit on his squad in the third quarter of the Dolphins’ Week 18 finale.
Earlier this week, Raheem Mostert shrugged off the situation. In an interview, the Dolphins running back said Hill “was just fed up at that moment” and other players felt the same way but “didn’t have the courage to say it like he did.”
