Deion Sanders is without a doubt the best cornerback in the history of the NFL. Sanders was a generational player, who had an instinct for the ball. One who could shut down half the backfield and nullify some of the best receivers in the game. Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, however, claims he will put up big numbers against a prime Sanders.
The podcast MILLION DOLLAZ WORTH OF GAME went to Tyreek Hill‘s house to throw some questions his way. Host Wallo asked how the Miami Dolphins superstar fare would against a prime Deion Sanders. He said;
I'm putting 175 on Deion. Prime was a GOAT though. But you gotta understand though, they played a lot of man to man back in the day. You feel me. I feel like receivers has changed. Our generation know so many movements. I'm quicker, more agile, I can move a whole lot, twitch guy. I can catch screens. 2 tubs. Don't forget about that.Tyreek Hill said
Hill added that after a touchdown, he would enact Deion Sanders‘ epic celebration dance to further taunt the NFL Hall of Famer. The hosts could not believe that the ‘Cheetah’ could even talk boldly against one of the greats.
Co-host Gillie suggested that Sanders used to play against the legendary Jerry Rice and still made a name for himself. To this, the Super Bowl champion gave some logic. He suggested that his short height, shifting ability and speed would be a boon against Sanders.
The 5′ 10″ Hill also added that he did not suggest putting up those 175 yards on deep drops. Rather the numbers would come from all the screens and flag routes he would be taking. It is clear now that Hill has put a lot of thought before coming up with those tall claims.
Tyreek Hill looking to torch cornerbacks on quest for Super Bowl
Already established as one of the best receivers in the game, the superstar wideout wants to set a legacy for himself before he hangs up his cleats. To start with that, consistently have the most yards, receptions, touchdowns, and yards after catch numbers. At one point last season, Tyreek Hill was on pace to breach the 2000 yards mark.
He also wants to win at least another Super Bowl ring. Having done that already with the Kansas City Chiefs, he does feel some pain watching his old team go on and win a couple more titles without him. That sting is pushing the 30-year-old to chase a title with the Miami Dolphins so that the NFL world remembers him for his own accomplishments.
The Miami Dolphins looked like a Super Bowl team last year. However, two Wild Card round exits have made them make subtle changes so that they can compete for the Vince Lombardi trophy. Hopefully, for Hill, it all pays off.
