Tyreek Hill has now set his eyes on achieving an unprecedented feat in the NFL. The Miami Dolphins wide receiver recently declared on his podcast, ‘It Needed to Be Said‘, that he will break the 2,000-yard receiving mark in the coming season, something that’s yet to be accomplished in the competition. The current NFL record for receiving yards in a single season stands at 1,964, set by Calvin Johnson Jr. back in 2012.

Hill’s audacious statement has come out just 3 months after he announced his retirement plans. Earlier this year, Hill had revealed his intentions of retiring from the NFL after completing his current contract with the Dolphins, which expires in 2025. The WR had expressed his desire to explore opportunities outside of football.
Can Tyreek Hill Really Break the 2000-Yard Mark?
In a bold statement on his podcast, Hill claimed, “I will break 2,000 yards next year, bro. 2,000 yards was on my bucket list to get before I leave this league… 2,000 yards and another Super Bowl — we getting that. Believe that.”
Reflecting on his performance last year, Hill expressed his intention to elevate his game even further. He acknowledged relying on his exceptional athleticism and connection with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
“Last year, I was just out there balling,” he said in June. “I was just out there just using all athleticism. Like, ‘Here, [Dolphins quarterback] Tua [Tagovailoa], I’m going to be here and we’re just going to do that.’ So, this year should be a crazier year not only for me, but also for the other wideouts.”
“I feel like I’ve got the right tools around me,” he said. “I’ve got obviously the most accurate quarterback in the NFL, I’ve got one of the best head coaches in the NFL and also my position coach is a monster also”. Considering Hill’s past accomplishments and skill set, it’s not far-fetched to entertain the possibility of him reaching the 2,000-yard mark. As fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming season, all eyes will be on Tyreek Hill as he strives to etch his name in NFL history by surpassing a milestone that is yet to be achieved.

Hill came close to achieving this feat last season, amassing an impressive 1,710 yards on 119 receptions despite facing challenges due to injuries on his team. As fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming season, all eyes will be on Tyreek Hill as he strives to etch his name in NFL history by surpassing a milestone that has yet to be achieved.
Tyreek Hill Might ‘Call It Quits’ after the 2025 NFL Season Ends
The Dolphins WR has a tendency to shock defenders with his raw pace. Given this tendency, Hill also gave a shock to NFL fans just three months back by announcing his retirement plans. One of the best WRs in the game right now, the news didn’t sit well with the NFL community. Hill is just shy of turning 30, but as the GenZ saying goes, “30s are the new 20s,” it can be safely said that age is not the issue for the electrifying WR.
During an interview on ‘The Totally Offensive‘ podcast, giving the reason for ending his NFL stint after 2025 season , Hill had stated, “I’m going for 10 [seasons], man. I’m going to finish out this contract with the Dolphins and then I’m going to call it quits. I want to go into the business side. I want to do so many things in my life, bro.”
Looks like Tyreek Hill’s career is entering its final chapter. There is no doubt that his fans will be hoping for one last triumphant moment before he bids adieu to the game. As the clock ticks towards his retirement, football enthusiasts will eagerly watch Hill’s journey. They will be hoping to see him lift the Lombardi Trophy and etch his name among the NFL’s greatest champions before he rides off into the sunset.
