Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce have started the season on a tear. The former teammates have had a similar impact on their team’s offense. Hill has been dynamic in an offense that has been electric from the get-go.

Kelce, on the other hand, has been his brilliant self for seven weeks. He has been Patrick Mahomes‘ go-to option since the Kansas City Chiefs dealt Hill to the Miami Dolphins. Both of these players are important for their team’s Super Bowl aspirations this season.

Kelce is widely regarded as the greatest tight end of all time. He is on pace to smash almost every receiving record for that position and has already won a couple of Super Bowls. Former NFL tight end and current ESPN analyst Shannon Sharpe, however, thinks that the Dolphins man is more of a threat to NFL teams than the potential greatest TE of all time.

I think everybody knows how I feel about Trav [Travis Kelce]. I think he is the GOAT tight end, given what he's done in the regular season and then he steps up even more in the postseason. I think he is the greatest tight end to have ever played the game. But you say the most dangerous pass catcher is Tyreek Hill. I mean Tyreek Hill has 53 catches, 902 yards, averaging a 17 yards a catch and seven touchdowns.
Sharpe said on the First Take show on ESPN
He is the most dangerous because he is a threat to hit his head on the goal post every time he touches the football. He's the most dangerous, the most lethal, the most feared of any position in the NFL.

Hill and Kelce played together in Kansas City for five years. They won Super Bowl LIV together and have been two of the best players in the NFL since then. Hill signed with the Dolphins last season and has been elite for them. Kelce has carried out his superb form from last season and is looking to win another Super Bowl with the Chiefs.

Tyreek Hill fined over $10k for taunting against the New York Giants

Tyreek Hill has been electric this season. He has been racking up touchdowns for fun. The star wideout is also racking up fines, as the NFL announced that Hill was fined $10,927 for throwing a peace sign against the New York Giants in their Week 5 matchup.

Hill has had some interesting touchdown celebrations in his career. However, the peace sign is his favorite. He was also fined by the NFL for wearing no socks against the Denver Broncos in Week 4. He may be a dynamic player, but Hill might have to work on his fine collecting habit.

Hill and the Dolphins are looking great this season. They have started the season with five wins, but their two losses have come against good teams in the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles. They will look to win their next game against the New England Patriots and get back on winning ways.
