Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has ended his 2022-23 NFL season in the Wild Card Round after losing against the Bills. Recently, he took part in the Pro Bowl flag football games and had a fun time. Before that, he caused a little bit of a stir on social media with a vague comment about being the best basketball player in the NFL. Many NFL players and fans have trolled him heavily after his latest claims.

Notably, this was not the first time he made such claims. During the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in November of last year, he talked about playing soccer during his college days. That time also many fans trolled him; and now, he again spoke about another sport while playing in the NFL as a decorated footballer.

Meanwhile, another Twitter user felt that Browns’ defensive end, Myles Garrett, is good at basketball but praised Hill for his 3-point shooting.
Maybe 2nd, Myles Garrett is pretty good. You’re the better 3-point shooter tho fs🔥🔒

On the other hand, one fan did not give Hill any chance; instead, the fan gave props to Davante Adams and Tee Higgins for their basketball ability.
It’s Tee Higgins or Davante and it’s not even close

Meanwhile, one Twitter user felt Hill is playing the right sport.
You are in the bottom half of the NFL be honest, in basketball… you are playing the right sport. Basketball is for 6ft+ guys
— Greg (@GunzBlazing330) February 5, 2023
Whereas, one fan did not believe Hill’s words and wanted to see a clip of him playing basketball.
🤔 can you post a video of your bball play?

Although Hill played soccer during his college days, he also developed great skills as a basketball player. Many clips surfaced on the internet, which showcased his hooping ability. Certainly, he can dunk the ball despite being 5 feet 10 inches tall. Moreover, he is also great at 3-point shooting.
Hill got hit by Jalen Ramsey during Pro Bowl flag football
During a 7-on-7 flag football game, Hill took a huge hit from the Rams‘ cornerback Jalen Ramsey. In the game, Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley threw a bullet pass to the Raiders‘ WR Davante Adams, who then passed the ball to Hill to avoid a hit. However, Ramsey absolutely floored the 28-year-old Dolphins receiver.

In replays, it looked like Ramsey did not mean to hit Hill but rather tried to avoid him. Later, Hill took to Twitter and expressed his disappointment with the hit. He tweeted, “This suppose to be flag meanwhile I’m getting de-cleated.”
