Tyreek Hill has surprising reaction to Chiefs' Super Bowl win
Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill Sam Navarro-USA TODAY Sports

Tyreek Hill had to watch as the Kansas City Chiefs won back-to-back Super Bowls after trading him, but it doesn’t sound like he has any harsh feelings whatsoever.

The Miami Dolphins receiver shared his reaction to X on Sunday after the Chiefs, his former team, beat the San Francisco 49ers to win Super Bowl LVIII.

“My brothers win it again proud of them boys,” Hill wrote. “Even more motivation for us in Miami.”

Six-time All-Pro Hill also showed love to former teammate Mecole Hardmanwho caught the game-winning TD  against the 49ers – as well as to quarterback Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid.

Hill was a homegrown Chief who was drafted by the team in 2016 and spent the first six seasons of his NFL career in Kansas City. He developed into an elite NFL receiver while a member of the team and won Super Bowl LIV with the Chiefs in the 2019 season. But in the midst of Hill seeking a bigger contract, Kansas City traded him to Miami before the 2022 campaign. Hill then signed a four-year, $120 million extension with the Dolphins.

Since trading Hill, the Chiefs have won back-to-back Lombardi Trophies with Mahomes relying more heavily on incumbents like Hardman, Travis Kelce and Marquez Valdes-Scantling as well as newcomers such as Justin Watson and Rashee Rice. Meanwhile, Hill became the highest-paid wide receiver in the league and really seems to be enjoying life in Miami. It is probably safe to say that both sides have done pretty well since the split.
