The star of the NFL world sat down with the outcast of the NFL world. It isn’t every day that the fans get to witness Antonio Brown being the patient listener and hearing someone talk but it looks like the dynamic personality of Tyreek Hill made the prince of controversy settle down.

Tyreek Hill, the wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, sat down with Antonio Brown for his newest venture in show business. His nickname being ‘Cheetah’, it’s obvious that Hill has been fast for most of his athletic life. But when he went to compete in the Junior Olympics, he had to put on a brave face because of the harsh perspectives of the surrounding rivals.

Tyreek Hill narrates a sad story from the time of his Junior Olympics

On the first episode of the new Antonio Brown podcast, titled CTESPN, Tyreek Hill came on to the show to discuss his past traumas and how he made it as a top WR in the NFL. In one of the segments, he was heard talking about his experience at the Junior Olympics, where he had to act differently around other competitors due to his small size.

Hill talked about how he had to put on a tough face and let it be known that he wasn’t anyone to be messed around with. He narrated his experience and said, “I took a trip to Spain, my senior year of high school, and ran in Barcelona for the junior Olympics. So everywhere in juco, I was wearing my Team USA kit so everybody was like, “Who he think he is?” This small a** dude walking around, thinking he’s fast.”

Furthermore, he also mentioned how he’s never been one to shy away from a challenge, “I had to walk around with a different swagger and a different confidence and letting dudes know that I’m fast but also I’m tough as s** too though. I don’t back down from no challenge. I’m running through walls.” Thus, it makes sense that ultimately, it was his toughness that got him to where he is today as one of the most remarkable players in NFL history. With all that said, here’s Hill’s brilliance on the academic front during his time in junior college, proving to everyone that he’s more than just swiftness and brawns.

The exceptional academic scores of Tyreek Hill

It’s almost ironic that Hill began his academic career at Garden City Community College due to his poor grades before finally graduating with flying colors. Hill has seen his fair share of a rollercoaster life, ranging from being arrested to going on to become one of the best WRs the NFL’s ever seen. Yet, he filled the void of academic excellence as well when he graduated with a remarkable GPA of 3.5.

Even Hill couldn’t stop rubbing his eyes when he found out that he had scored such amazing numbers and explained, “I started doing really well. I graduated from my JUCO with a 3.5 (GPA). I couldn’t believe I did that. I really couldn’t. I was a kid who failed my graduation test. It was crazy. My senior year in high school, I didn’t even walk across the stage because I failed the graduation test.” It just goes to prove that Hill has worked hard for everything he’s ever achieved, which might be the foundation of his success and the throne he sits atop in the world of football today.
