WR Tyreek Hill

(On the trades for LB Bradley Chubb and RB Jeff Wilson Jr.) – “I was chilling when it all happened. I’m excited for it. I’m happy to see that the GM and the head coach are very invested in this team. They really understand that every team has a window, and they see that the window is now for this team. I’m looking forward to going out and practicing with those guys. I know those guys are going to bring out a lot of energy and bring a lot of experience, especially Jeff (Wilson), being in this offense, being in a similar system in San Fran. I’m looking forward to it.”

(I know you always bring juice. Do you take that news and bring a little more juice?) – “Yeah. But I feel like I’ve been playing ball my whole life. I’m looking forward to this week.”

(We did see what you were doing yesterday when it happened and we saw your reaction. Now that you’ve had time to digest it, what do you feel like LB Bradley Chubb and RB Jeff Wilson Jr. can bring to this team, and to this locker room?) – “I’m not a defensive guy, so really can’t speak much on the defensive side of the ball. But as far as Jeff Wilson, I’ve watched a few of his games and just the explosive mindset of him being able to catch the ball out of the backfield, just the different aspects of the game when I watch him play. He’s a very special player.”

(You were in the same division as LB Bradley Chubb, so you faced him a lot. Are there any impressions that you have from going up against him?) – “Like I said, he’s a d-linemen and I’m a receiver so they are definitely two different things. He’s definitely a Pro Bowl player. I saw him at the Pro Bowl once. (He’s a) high energy guy who is going to bring a lot of experience to this team. I’m looking forward to playing with him.”

(The head coach and general manager both came out earlier today and said in so many words that we are all in on QB Tua Tagovailoa. Do you sense that the organization has fully supported him, and that there is a belief factor here?) – “You asked the two top dogs – the head coach and the GM. What are you asking me for? (laughter) I don’t sign the checks here. If they said it, obviously they’re bought into what Tua got going on right now. I feel like he’s playing at a tremendous level. He’s making me look right about everything I said about him in the offseason. There you go. The head coach and GM have said it, so everybody else needs to jump on board too with it.”

(Is there anybody that can overthrow you?) – “I don’t know. I don’t even get into that.”

(With the start that you’ve had, there are some whispers of you being in the MVP conversation. I’m not going to ask you if you think you deserve to be in the conversation, but do you think it’s possible for a wide receiver in this age to win the MVP?) – “Yeah. I think that it’s possible. For me to be in such conversations like that is just a blessing within itself. I just want to say thank God for my people, my peers and people just acknowledging me to even be in that conversation. I came from a small town, didn’t grow up with a lot. I grew up in a crazy situation. Just to be playing in the NFL every day, for me, I’ve already accomplished my dream. For me to be in the MVP conversation, that’s legacy right there for me.”
