Tyreek Hill said he’ll enter the record books while helping the Miami Dolphins end their Super Bowl drought this upcoming season.
“I’ll break 2,000 (receiving) yards (this season),” Hill said on the latest edition of his “It Needed To Be Said” podcast. “All I’m gonna say is 2,000 yards was on my bucket list to get, bro, before I leave this league. And y’all think Cheetah gonna leave without doing something he promised himself?”
He added: “Two thousand yards and another Super Bowl, we getting that.”
Hall of Fame wide receiver Calvin Johnson holds the single-season record for receiving yards with 1,964 in 2012. Only one other player has topped the 1,900-yard mark in a season, as Los Angeles Rams star Cooper Kupp racked up 1,947 yards in 2021. Kupp became the first receiver ever to top 2,000 yards in the regular season and playoffs combined after leading the Rams to a Super Bowl victory that year.
Hill set a career high with 1,710 yards in his first season with the Dolphins last year. The 29-year-old, whom Miami acquired in a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs during the 2022 offseason, also caught a career-high 119 passes and seven touchdowns en route to earning the fourth first-team All-Pro nod of his career.
A fifth-round pick in 2016, Hill said in April that he intends to play 10 seasons in the NFL and retire at the end of his current contract with Miami. The seven-time Pro Bowler is currently signed through the 2026 season, according to Spotrac.
In 2022, Hill helped the Dolphins make the playoffs for the first time since 2016, but their run ended with a wild-card loss to the Buffalo Bills. Miami hasn’t won a postseason game since the 2000 campaign, and its last Super Bowl appearance dates back to the 1984 season when the team lost to the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XIX.
The Dolphins haven’t won the big game since lifting the Lombardi Trophy in back-to-back seasons in 1972-73.
