The Miami Dolphins wideout has delved into the significance of sharing a locker room with the three-time Super Bowl champion and the trajectory of Mahomes’ career, tipping him for potential GOAT status.

“I can’t remember what year it was,” Hill told “The Pivot” podcast.
“But we was like on a bad streak. His supporting cast playing bad. Me, [Travis] Kelce,D Rob [Demarcus Robinson], Miko [Mecole Hardman], Sammy [Watkins], we all was playing bad.
“This dude called the whole offense up. This is like on a Tuesday, I believe. He cussed all of us the f**k out.
“Me and Pat we go back and forth. But that was a moment right there where like, he stood on business.
“And it was like, bro, I really respect this mother**ker. Because he really just called out all his f**king weapons.”
Explaining his departure
The 2022 trade that sent Hill from the Chiefs to the Dolphins didn’t go unnoticed. Reflecting on the move, Hill shed light on his motivations, emphasizing long-term planning, family considerations, and the importance of brand identity in his decision-making process.
“It was a family decision,” Hill added.
“It was just one of those, ‘What’s gonna be the better long-term situation for my family, really all of us?’ So we looked at it as far as like, ‘If we go to Miami, it’s gonna be a new community.’
“You’re looking into, getting into the whole brand space, because the brand space in KC has already taken over.
“Pat, Kelce, they already took that over. You got to look at it as an aspect of ‘While you’re playing, and then after you’ve done playing, is there a certain area of space that you would like to take up?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, Miami is perfect.”
