Tyreek Hill will go down as one of the best receivers in history

He’s fast. Everyone who watches the NFL knows this. He can also run a pretty sweet route and has developed superb hands along the way.

Hill is not a gimmick receiver, he isn’t a product of any system, he is a receiver in the NFL.

Hill would have been an all-pro with Alex Smith at the helm, But now that Mahomes is that guy, the number of deep balls and highlights are going to double from last season.

Hill might just be the most dangerous weapon in the NFL. He now has a quarterback that will constantly be testing his speed, routes, and hands.

If Hill were to only catch for 1,000 yards and retire after 12 seasons, he would rank in the top 30 of all-time for passing yards. The chances of him bettering those numbers are really pretty good.

100  yards per game seems very obtainable for Hill, who seems to get more open with every game played. He is already one of two favorite targets for Mahomes.

Will he catch for 100 yards each game? No, he won’t, but the averages for a player who has that kind of talent will put Hill amongst the very best. Jerry Rice type of best? No. Randy Moss type of best? That’s more like it.

Tyreek Hill is such a unique combination of speed, control, awareness, and intelligence that the sky truly is the limit. He has the perfect arm to throw him the perfect passes to allow himself a fantastic career. Hill will go down as one of the best ever.
