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.
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.

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.
