Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill will make his return to Arrowhead Stadium when his team takes on the Kansas City Chiefs next Sunday.
While Hill is excited to see his former mates, he is remaining focused.
“I’m ready, man. It’s just another game,” said Hill, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN. “I’m just excited to play against my old brothers. It’s just like if you’re in high school and you move to a different city, it’s still ball. At the end of the day, my job is to go out there and do what I’ve been doing all year, and that’s have fun, help lead this team and create opportunities for whoever.”
Hill spent the first six years of his career with the Chiefs between 2016 and 2021 before being traded to the Dolphins in March 2022.
During is time in Kansas City, Hill put together quite the resume, making six trips to the Pro Bowl and earning three First-Team All-Pro selections. In addition, Hill helped lead the Chiefs to two Super Bowl appearances and won championship.
