After previously walking back the comments he made about wanting to leave Miami following a frustrating 2024 season, Tyreek Hill is now looking for a fresh start in 2025, Michael Baca of NFL.com reports.
The Dolphins star opened up to reporters on the second day of Miami's organized team activities, saying he needs to once again prove himself as both one of the league's best wide receivers and as a reliable leader to his teammates.
"That's every day in this league," Hill said on Wednesday. "Every day, you've got to prove who you are, and it doesn't matter how much you've earned or how much success you've had in this league. It's always the next day mentality. That's something that my grandparents raised me by and that's something (head coach) Mike (McDaniel) preaches here in this locker room. Every day, I'm trying to prove myself as one of those guys that this team can depend on in crucial moments. I'ma stand on that too, though, just me as a person, as a player, as an individual. I try to carry myself in that way."
Hill furthered his point when asked if he wants to or feels he deserves to be a team captain again for the 2025 season.
"I gotta prove myself. This OTAs, training camp, I gotta prove myself," he said. "I gotta show up different. The mindset gotta be different. I don't feel like I deserve it, and if I didn't get it, I wouldn't dwell on it. I wouldn't sweat it because I put myself in that position."
