Tyreek Hill is one of the best receivers in the NFL today. The Miami Dolphins player is also usually quite open in his opinions. However, this time, he may have gone too far in insulting one of the best receivers in recent years and, to top it all off, his Dolphins coach.

Hill was the receiver with the most yards gained in 2023, with 1,799, and the second-best in number of receptions with 119. His stats have been consistent throughout his career, and among other achievements, he can boast the Super Bowl LIV title with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The former Chiefs receiver is also notorious for his constant controversies. From the recent lawsuit he faces from an OnlyFans model to his claims that he is the father of 10 children, Hill is constantly making headlines.

However, as of recently, the Dolphins star landed in hot water for insulting New England Patriots great Wes Welker.

Hill vs. Welker

A few days ago, an X user asked the community which player they considered had more hype than actual talent. Among the many responses, Hill’s stands out, as he just wrote: “Wes Welker.” The common interpretation is that the Dolphins receiver called the legendary former player “overrated.”

Welker played 11 years in the NFL, including six with the Pats, from 2007 to 2012. In his time with New England, Welker played in two Super Bowls, winning XLVI and losing XLII.

He retired in 2015 with 903 receptions, 9,924 yards, and 50 touchdowns. He was a two-time First Team All-Pro nominee, was called to the Pro Bowl three times, and was the leader in receptions three times, among other accolades.

After his retirement, Welker began working as a coach, and his most recent position is receivers coach in the Miami Dolphins, that is, he is Hill’s current coach.

Disrespect or trolling?

The relationship between Hill and Welker makes many fans suspect that the receiver was just making fun of his coach. However, many other users complained to the Dolphins star about his apparent lack of respect for a player considered legendary.

A few, however, also believe Hill might have a point. They argue that Welker would not have stood out as he did if he had not played with Tom Brady, the number one GOAT candidate.

Welker has not issued a response, but fans and reporters are eagerly awaiting the moment when the former Pats star returns the comment.

Tyreek Hill Gets Called a Hater For Branding Tom Brady’s Popular WR Overrated

Tyreek Hill, a favorite in the NFL world and deemed one of the best wide receivers ever, recently found himself in hot water. The Miami Dolphins star caused a stir on X, formerly known as Twitter, by labeling former New England Patriots receiver Wes Welker as over-hyped.

Hill responded to a post asking which player had more hype than talent by bluntly stating, “Wes Welker.” He didn’t even elaborate on why he felt this way, sparking an outrage among fans. Some even called the Dolphins’ wideout a “hater” and a “racist.” See for yourselves:

The backlash was swift. While one fan labeled Hill’s take “horrible,” others defended Welker, saying, “You’re tripping. Perfect slot receiver. That’s like Jalen Ramsey calling you a return specialist.” Another quipped that Hill must have handed his X account over to Antonio Brown.

Interestingly, though, this tweet was nothing but a playful banter session. For the uninitiated, while Wes Welker has made a reputation for himself as one of Tom Brady’s favorite targets for six years, the former wideout has since tried his hand at coaching and excelled in it as well.

He started as an offensive assistant for the Texans but was soon promoted to wide receiver coach for the 49ers. For the last two years, Welker has held the same position for the Miami Dolphins, coinciding with Tyreek Hill’s time on the team. Therefore, it can be said with certainty that Hill’s comment was nothing but a playful jab at his coach.

Several fans pointed this out in the comments, even throwing shade at those who fell for the joke. With all the things that have been going on in Tyreek’s life, this lighthearted exchange was quite fun to witness.

Tyreek Hill Is Expecting Another Child

The NFL offseason just took an intriguing turn for Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill, who is set to welcome a new member to the family. According to a now-expired Instagram story from his wife, Keeta Vaccaro, the couple is expecting a child together.

However, this joyous news comes amidst a backdrop of turmoil, as Hill and Vaccaro had filed for divorce earlier this year, only for the speedy wideout to claim that it was his “f***ing bonehead lawyers” who initiated the proceedings without his consent, a mere 76 days after their nuptials.

While the impending birth marks a significant milestone, Hill’s family dynamics have been the subject of intense scrutiny and speculation. The mercurial playmaker has hinted at fathering as many as ten children with multiple women, including four newborns this year alone.

Adding to the complexity, he has three children from a previous relationship with his ex-fiancée, Crystal Espinal. In a candid interview on the ‘Million Dollaz Worth Of Game’ YouTube channel, Hill refused to deny claims that his total number of offspring could be even higher than the reported six from four different women, leaving fans and observers with plenty to ponder upon.
