Numerous young people dream of becoming professional athletes when they grow up, but eventually, many realize that it’s just not going to happen.

On the other hand, Tyreek Hill doesn’t need to use his imagination. The six-time Pro Bowler made close to $40 million over the course of six seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. When he felt the need to move on, he was traded to the Dolphins and signed a four-year, $120 million contract.
Therefore, if Hill decided he wanted to join the many Miami residents who own a sizable fleet of luxury cars they can use to try to turn heads while navigating the city, he probably wouldn’t even need to check his bank account.
Tyreek Hills explains why he still drives a minivan
In a recent sit-down interview, Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe and Tyreek Hill discussed a range of subjects. Hill talked about his spending habits in the interview for the Club Shay Shay podcast. He acknowledged spending a sizable sum on a Florida “estate” that includes a McLaren 720s in the garage, but when he revealed that his daily vehicle is a minivan, he nearly left the host speechless.
Hill Said “I’m, but I’m not. I don’t tend to spend wildly. However, we managed to secure a sizable estate in Miami. spending quite a bit of money on that. Man, that’s pretty much it. I’m done now. I’m, I’m. I’m an easygoing guy. Every day I commute to work in a minivan.”
To which Shannone asked surprisingly “ A Minivan” Tyreek continued “I mean, really. I always take a minivan to work.” Hill is trying to break the NFL record for receiving yards in a season held by Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson. With the Detroit Lions, Johnson recorded a staggering 1,964 receiving yards in 2012.
Over the course of 13 games, Hill has 100 receptions for 1,460 receiving yards and 6 receiving touchdowns. To reach 2,000 yards, he would need 560 yards over the next four games, or an average of 140 receiving yards per contest.
