WR Tyreek Hill

(On visiting Frank Crawford in the South Miami community.) – “It’s a blessing for me, and also the Dolphins to give back because to be able to change somebody’s life man, you never know what outcome that could be for a person. I’m very grateful the little kid – Franco – had on my jersey and I’m very grateful I was able to a part of that experience.”

(He said it’s a day he’ll never forget.) – “Oh yeah, man. It was awesome, it was awesome. The kid definitely had a good time, and I had a good time too though. I didn’t know that they were going to slime me so that was dope.”

(Are we going to see the Lion or the Cheetah on Sunday?) – “I’m a hybrid. Ain’t no telling what you’re going to get out of me on Sunday. Just know it’s going to be fast though. Fast and deliberate.”

(What changes in a division game? A common opponent, they know you and you know them, and they count more.) – “It’s definitely going to be fast. Guys are going to be flying around hitting hard. That’s what football is to me. Hard-nosed games, so I’m looking forward to it.”

(What’s that mindset when they throw that bracket coverage on you? You basically have two guys dedicated to covering you the entire game. If that’s what they decide to do on Sunday.) – “I’m still going to dominate that no matter what. I still got a job to do, and that’s to run my routes. You put two guys on me, one guy on me, or three guys on me I’m still going to run my route to get open.”

(Who was your favorite receiver growing up when you were six years old?) – “Randy Moss. Randy Moss was my favorite receiver. Also I was a fan of Hines Ward, too.”

(Could you imagine Randy Moss coming to see you at six years old? That’s what you did for this kid.) – “I probably would’ve said, ‘I’m faster than you.’ (laughter) Which would’ve been true, though. If Randy Moss would’ve came to see me, I definitely would’ve loved that. But obviously he lived in Minnesota and I was in Georgia.”

(Hines Ward is great, but I don’t know many people would say that. What about Hines Ward stood out?) – “Hines Ward was just so complete. The way he caught the ball obviously, but he was a willing blocker. He laid out for his team and I said I wanted to be that kind of receiver. I wanted to be that kind of receiver to do it all for my team whether it’s catching, whether it’s running, whether it’s blocking or even throwing, too. Hines Ward was definitely one of those guys that can do it all.”

(Are you keeping track? Obviously you’re off to a fast start on the road to 2,000 yards. Are you keeping track in any way? Are you keeping an eye on that?) – “No, I don’t keep track of that. I just let my oldest son do that. He was like, ‘hey dad, we’re at 215.’ He does the math for me, so we’re on the way.”

(Wins are always good, but what’s special about winning on the road? How is it different than wining at home?) – “It’s tough especially with the time change and everything, going all the way to the West Coast. For us to get that win, it was huge for us. I’m just glad that it was against a very good opponent in the Chargers. We won’t want it any other way. The way the NFL set us up… the first game of the season going over to the West Coast. I just wish it was on primetime.”
