Tyreek Hill, the lightning bolt who left Chiefs Kingdom breathless with his electrifying plays, just dropped a bombshell that’s got fans feeling all sorts of ways. In a recent retweet that’s been making the rounds, Hill shared the Baltimore Ravens‘ video featuring their WR coach, Greg Lewis, with a simple yet heart-wrenching caption: “Happy for Coach man I miss him.”

Yup, the Cheetah potentially himself is feeling nostalgic for his Kansas City glory days, and it’s hitting the fans harder than a Ray Lewis tackle. For those not in the know, Hill’s dynamic partnership with Coach Lewis was the stuff of legends. From 2017 to 2020, this duo was the known name, with Lewis molding Hill into one of the league’s most feared receivers. The numbers don’t lie: under Lewis’ tutelage, Hill racked up a staggering 4,798 receiving yards and 41 touchdowns, earning four consecutive Pro Bowl nods and two First-Team All-Pro honors in the process.

But it wasn’t just about padding the stat sheet; Hill and Lewis were instrumental in the Chiefs’ reign of terror over the AFC West, capturing six straight division titles and two Super Bowl rings. From 2017-20, Lewis guided a Chiefs’ wide receivers corps that averaged the third-most yards per reception (14.0) and posted the fourth-most receiving TDs (83) and fifth-most yards after catch (4,200).

Their bond transcended mere Xs and Os. As Hill put it in 2021, “Yes man love him like a uncle.” Remember that time in 2021 when cameras caught Hill shoving Lewis on the sidelines? The two were just “messing around,” according to Coach Andy Reid, laughing it off like only a tight-knit family can.

So when Hill reminisces about those days, you can bet it’s more than nostalgia – it’s a longing for that brotherhood, the success they achieved together, and the camaraderie of that championship squad. As the old saying goes, “You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” And Hill is also been in a bit of a grey area recently because of what he is not getting.

Tyreek Hill’s Patrick Mahomes envy and the struggles of adjusting to life in Miami

While Hill’s bank account is looking pretty sweet thanks to that lucrative $120 million deal with the Dolphins, his heart seems stuck in Kansas City. In a recent appearance on the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast, Hill admitted feeling a “part of him” was taken aback when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl without him after his pivotal role in their 2019 championship run.

Just recently, Hill admitted to feeling envious of his former QB, Patrick Mahomes, and the Chiefs’ continued success without him. As one tweet Hill liked bluntly put it, “He only came to Miami for the money. He knew what he was leaving behind in KC.”

But the money troubles don’t end there. Despite that “record-breaking” contract, analysts like Mike Florio have called it “fake, phony, fugazi,” revealing Hill’s actual yearly earnings are closer to $25 million – a far cry from the ballyhooed $30 million per year. As Florio put it, “His 4-year, $120 million deal is structured in such a way that he will make $45 million in the last year of his contract.” It’s like ordering a juicy steak only to be served a rubber hockey puck.

To twist the knife further, Hill’s been caught liking tweets critical of his Miami situation, hinting at lingering regrets and a sense of unfulfillment. As one fan speculated in a liked tweet, “Tyreek is a ticking timebomb, deep down his ego is going to come out because KC has won 2 SBs while he has 0 playoff wins here.” It’s a constant tug-of-war between his desire for new success with the Dolphins and the undeniable pull of his triumphant Chiefs past – a mental battle even the toughest linebacker would struggle with.

But if anyone can power through, it’s Tyreek Hill. With Coach Lewis’ wise words echoing in his mind, he just might recapture that magic and silence the doubters once and for all.
