‘I’ve Got To Prove Myself’: Tyreek Hill Opens Up On Behavioral Problems

Tyreek Hill Admits Fault After Losing Captaincy Rumors Swirl

Tyreek Hill has found himself under the spotlight again, and this time it’s not for his blazing speed or jaw-dropping touchdowns. During OTAs with the Miami Dolphins, Hill gave a brutally honest take on the behavioral issues that have plagued him during the offseason. The Dolphins wide receiver acknowledged he’s got work to do, not just on the field, but off it as well.

“I’ve got to prove myself,” Hill said during a media session. “OTAs, training camp, I’ve got to show up differently. The mindset’s got to be different. I don’t feel like I deserve it, and if I didn’t get it, I wouldn’t dwell on it… I put myself in that position.”

Tyreek Hill’s captaincy reportedly came under review after multiple off-field controversies. When pressed, he took full accountability for the noise that followed him after the 2024 NFL season ended.

Tyreek Hill Addresses Divorce Drama and Fatherhood

The Dolphins star also didn’t shy away from talking about his personal life. Tyreek Hill’s estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro, recently filed for divorce and accused him of being a poor father to their daughter. Hill responded by expressing his desire to turn things around: “I hope to be a great father to all my kids.”

Hill has played for the Miami Dolphins since 2022, after being traded from the Kansas City Chiefs, where he was originally selected 165th overall in the 2016 NFL Draft. Before the NFL, Hill played college ball at Garden City, Oklahoma State, and West Alabama.

Hill Calls Buffalo Bills Fans ‘Stupid’ In Viral Rant

As if things weren’t chaotic enough, Hill stirred up a fresh wave of backlash after a video clip surfaced from his appearance on a stream with Adin Ross. In the clip, Tyreek Hill called Buffalo Bills fans “stupid” and even accused them of having CTE.

He began by reflecting on the intense rivalry between the Chiefs and Bills during his Kansas City days. But his rant quickly spiraled, and his new home in Miami didn’t seem to ease the bitterness.

His comments have sparked outrage among Bills fans, adding yet another layer to the ongoing controversy surrounding the Dolphins star.
