WR Tyreek Hill

(What is your reaction to Kevin Fitzgibbons getting suspended?) – “It was something that I already knew. Me and K-Fitz, we’ve got a long history together. The news is something that I already knew. I told him don’t let this get to you. Just hold your head up. You’re still young. Continue to do what you love. Me and him are going to continue to work together. I told him I was going to cover his salary, whatever the NFL was going to pay him or whatever. I told him I was going to make sure that I do what’s right and take care of you, make sure you’re not out of a job. That’s my guy.”

(Did you try to get in contact with the NFL in any type of way?) – “Oh yeah, I did. I did. I did. I went through every avenue. But they’ve got their reasoning and I was just like, look, you guys have your reasoning. You guys already have your mind made up so that’s it. That’s all I can do. There’s nothing that I can say, ‘hey, I’m going to sit out or not do this or do anything.’ Those guys already made a decision and they stuck with it. So as men, we’ve got to abide by what they say.”

(You commented a couple days ago saying that you think that this current Dolphins team is better, more talented, than your Kansas City Chiefs team that won a Super Bowl. I was wondering if you can elaborate on that. What sticks out to you about this team being even better than that team?) – “Just look at the stats, man. The stats speak for themselves. Also, the salary cap. That’s all I’m going to say on that. A lot of people may not want to agree with me, but they know I’m right. They can be like ‘oh, we have this player.’ So what? Look at the salary cap and look at the stats this year. That’s all I’ve got to say.”

(You guys were 8-3 last year and then lost five straight games. Why do you think you guys are in better to shape to avoid that this year?) – “Man, we’ve added a lot of guys, a lot more veteran guys who really understand the situation we’re in. We’re definitely in a better spot. Obviously we’re at the same point we were at last year. Coach just has got guys flying around the ball more, more attention to detail. It feels different this year. We’re on a roll right now. It’s a beautiful thing to be a part of.”

(Wide Receivers Coach Wes Welker said that you are the best wide receiver that he’s ever been around.) – “For real?”

(Yeah. I mean, obviously even better than Randy Moss.) – “Oh, wow. He said that?”

(Yes. He said you were better than Randy Moss.) – “Well, I’ve just got to accept the compliment. That’s awesome for your position coach to say something like that. But I believe he was just saying that so he could get me to practice though. (laughter) I believe he was just saying that to try to get me to practice.”

(But cheetahs don’t get hurt though.) – “Yeah, cheetahs don’t get hurt. Right now, I’m just soaking a little injury right now. But I’ll be alright though. I’m going to shake back quick. That’s what I do.”

(I’ve got a question about RB Raheem Mostert. Do you think he’s underrated?) – “Yes. Obviously, he’s been on a lot of teams. People didn’t value him the way that the Miami Dolphins value him. Not even the last team he came from which is the 49ers. He’s a real good asset to this team. The leadership that he brings each and every day. He’s just a tremendous guy to have on this team. I obviously love having other fast guys on this team so it’s a beautiful thing.”
