Tyreek Hill (@Cheetah), the dynamic receiver known for his electrifying plays with the Kansas City Chiefs, has revealed his nostalgia for the team through a recent retweet, provoking strong reactions among fans.
Hill shared a video from the Baltimore Ravens featuring Greg Lewis, his former wide receivers coach, with a caption suggesting how much he misses his old team.
“Happy for the coach, I miss him,”.
This tweet suggests a longing for the days when Hill and Lewis formed an unstoppable duo from 2017 to 2020. During those years, Hill amassed an impressive 4,798 receiving yards and 41 touchdowns under Lewis’ guidance. Additionally, Hill was selected for the Pro Bowl in four consecutive years and earned two First-Team All-Pro honors.
The duo significantly contributed to the Chiefs’ dominance in the AFC West, achieving six consecutive divisional titles and two Super Bowl championships. During this period, the Chiefs’ receivers averaged 14.0 yards per reception, the third-highest in the league, and a total of 83 receiving touchdowns, the fourth-highest.
Beyond the field, Hill saw Lewis as a mentor and friend. Even after an incident on the bench in 2021, where Hill shoved Lewis, both downplayed the event, calling it a joke between friends, highlighting the strength of their relationship.
Nostalgia and Envy in Miami
Despite signing a multimillion-dollar contract worth $120 million with the Miami Dolphins, Hill has expressed feelings of nostalgia for his time in Kansas City. In a recent podcast, Hill confessed to feeling a sense of loss when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl without him, reminiscing about the success and camaraderie he left behind.
Hill has also shown signs of envy towards his former quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, and the ongoing success of the Chiefs. He liked a tweet suggesting that his move to Miami was primarily financially motivated, acknowledging how difficult it has been to leave such a successful team.
Despite the headlines about his lucrative contract, analysts like Mike Florio have noted that Hill’s actual earnings are closer to $25 million per year, not the reported $30 million. Florio explained that the structure of Hill’s deal means he will earn $45 million in the last year, contrasting with the initial perception of his earnings.
