Every game is crucial for Tyreek Hill, as just some hours ago, he compared himself to a war hero. There is no doubt that Tyreek Hill is one of the best players in the league today, even Stephen A. Smith agrees with that. Smith, who wanted Hill to become an MVP this time, had his wishes come halfway true. Most recently, the Miami Dolphins wide receiver was named the AFC Player of the Month for October.
However, victories or even playing games don’t come easily. For Hill, it comes with many emotional roller coaster rides. He, in his podcast, revealed that he feels a war-like experience when playing games, especially international ones.

The trauma of leaving family and playing far away is heartbreaking for many players. Tyreek Hill is also among those players. In his recent podcast episode, Hill compared the games, especially international games to wars. He said he had watched many war movies and saw them bidding goodbye to their families in those films. Hill too, experiences a similar feeling when he goes out for games.
The 29-year-old receiver said, “I kind of compare it to that. It’s almost in a sense of hey babe, hey mom, hey sister, hey kids, I’m about to go to war, and here’s what it’s going to look like you know I’m hoping to come back victorious.” The feeling of leaving family isn’t easy for Tyreek Hill. Just like war heroes, he is trying to draw a parallel from his journey to Germany. Last Sunday’s game happened between the Phins and the Kansas City Chiefs in Frankfurt, Germany, where Miami lost 14-21.
However, that’s not the only feeling Hill had recently while playing in Germany. At present too, the WR has some warm feelings toward the Chiefs, the team, and their fans.
