The Dolphins‘ WR, who spearheaded the formation of an explosive and prolific offense for his team, was named the best NFL player on Friday. Hill was already the talk of the NFL world due to his extraordinary speed and versatility, and now his being at the top was just the icing on the cake. And it seems like his achievement did not escape the eyes of a former QB, Tim Hasselbeck, who shared his views on the top NFL player.

“I think it’s certainly surprising you know, it’s I think people know it’s a quarterback league,” said Tim on the NFL on ESPN show. Well, if you remember the 2023 top 10 list, it was Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Jalen Hurts, who secured multiple spots on that list. So how does a non-QB make it to the top this year?

Hasselbeck said that it was the fans’ respect for the Cheetah owing to his ‘speed‘ and ‘versatility‘ that gave him the top spot. Moreover, he was also said to be an absolute menace to the defense and offense of the opponent team. The dominating 70-20 win of the Fins over the Broncos in 2023 witnessed Hill reaching his top speed of 22.07 mph for a 15-yard catch, the fastest speed for any ball carrier in that season. Being a ‘little surprised‘ with a WR standing at the top, the ex-QB shared more.

“There weren’t more quarterbacks, just in general in the top 10, I thought that was a bit surprising,” said Tim as he revealed his actual reason for being ‘surprised‘. As QBs have the biggest role to play being the game controllers, the ex-QB was astonished to see only 2 of them making it to the top 10. It seems like it can be the year of the WR as he makes history by slashing off QBs to secure the top rank.

Well, it’s indeed the year of Hill. Apart from being voted as the top player, the Cheetah gets the return of a long wait.

Tyreek Hill’s restructured contract with the Dolphins

Adam Schefter took the stage to reveal the new deal of Cheetah with the Dolphins on X, “Pro-Bowl WR Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins reached an agreement on a restructured contract worth $90 million over the next three years that includes $65 million guaranteed. “. What could have been better than such a lucrative contract from the place where he wanted to stay?

Just before this deal, Hill would have gotten $85.4 million over 3 years, and now it got a boost to $90 million. Moreover, the restructured contract also increases his guaranteed money from $19,665,000 to $65 million. Furthermore, this lucrative contract has earned him the fours position in the highest-paid WR club too. 

Looks like, Tyreek just got what he wanted and he is ready to give his best. This was evident from the emotional post he made on 3rd August on X, “I promise to give you my all this year 🥹“. Well, we expect to see the Cheetah against the Falcons on the 10th of August. Will he be able to make his team grab the Lombardi trophy?
