Tyreek Hill’s Big-Play Drought Reaches One Year as Dolphins Face Questions Over Messaging

After a 33-8 opener featuring four catches for 40 yards, Hill answered a question about the slump tersely.

Overview

  • Hill has gone a full calendar year without a reception of 30 yards or longer, an unusual dip for one of the league’s premier deep threats.
  • When asked about the drought, Hill replied, “I don’t know, bruh… It’ll come,” after initially reacting, “You’re trying to piss me off today with that one, huh?,” per reporting on the exchange.
  • Miami’s Week 1 loss to the Colts finished 33-8, with Hill held to four catches for 40 yards as the offense sputtered.
  • Pro Football Talk noted the Dolphins did not post a transcript of Hill’s Friday press conference, drawing attention to the team’s handling of messaging.
  • The Sporting News highlighted that Hill opened last season with an 80-yard catch and had logged a 49-plus-yard reception in every prior NFL season, underscoring the rarity of the current drought.
