Hill recently shared that he strategically employs the Madden video game to assess and size up his rivals. Hill has a knack for spotting minor stuff in his opponents’ gameplay and this has evidently paid off for him remarkably. As a player who consistently pushes his limits on the field, his 0ff-field tactics also help him in maintaining an upper hand in the game.
Madden NFL Is Proving To Be a Hack For Tyreek Hill
The fascinating secret tactic of the star WR for the Miami Dolphins has sent everyone for a spin. This unconventional approach of Tyreek Hill involves a night-before-game-ritual that many might not expect from a professional athlete. However, it’s the results that matter in the end, and that is what Hill brings to the table.
Explaining this whole Madden NFL thing, Hill said, “I feel like Madden has a good tell [read] on how good players are, so I just play Madden the night before [NFL games] and I go look at all of their ratings. For instance it has Steve Nelson and Derek Stingley Jr., two phenomenal players by the way, I just get on Madden and go to the EA rosters then I scroll down and see what their awareness is, their speed, and their strength, and that’s how I get a good tell on them”.

‘Cheetah’ to Call it Quits After 2025
Fondly known as the ‘Cheetah,’ Tyreek Hill already has a timeline set up in his mind regarding his retirement. He’s on the right side of his 30s right now, however, as he shared on Kansas City Sports Radio 810 WHB, he is envisioning himself away from professional football after 2025, when his contract with the Miami Dolphins expires.
He had shared on the radio show, “I’m gonna finish out this contract with the Dolphins, man, and then I’m gonna call it quits. I want to go into the business side. Yeah [I want to be on the coaching side, too] but not for long, though. I want to do so many things in my life, bro”.
