Miami Dolphins All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill is one of the most electrifying football players of all-time.
Arguably the faster player in the sport, Hill is a mismatch nightmare for defenses.
He is also quite the entertainer and is well-known for making headlines … That’s precisely what he did once again as he took to social media to brutally roast a legend.
Responding to a post on X basically asking who’s an NFL player who is/was much more hype than actual talent, Hill answered: “Wes Welker.”
Ouch!!! That’s a low blow by Hill.
After all, Welker is one of the most dominant wide receivers in recent memory.
A five-time Pro Bowler and three-time NFL reception leader, Welker was virtually unstoppable during large stretchers of his career.
He’s most well-known for his tenures with the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos.
Sure, it’s easy to be productive when your quarterbacks are Tom Brady and Peyton Manning – but Welker’s elite route-running and ultra-high football IQ helped him carve up defenses on a weekly basis.
Throughout his 11-year career, Welker hauled in 903 receptions for 9,924 yards and 50 touchdowns.
He was also an explosive return man with 6,722 combined return yards (punt and kickoff) to his name.
Needless to say, Hill’s comment went viral on social media with the football world largely coming out in support of Welker…
“Giselle was right. Tom couldn’t throw the ball and catch it.”
“why’d you let AB have your password.”
“You’re tripping. Perfect slot receiver. That’s like Jalen Ramsey calling you a return specialist.”
“Damn that’s cold Wes Welker was a great player.”
“Horrible take.”
However, Hill’s comment makes a whole lot more sense when you realize that the 43-year-old Welker is currently the Dolphins wide receiver coach!
In other words, funny-man Hill is just busting on his coach…
Apparently, compliments are a one-way street in the Hill-Welker relationship.
After all, Welker speaks glowingly of Hill every chance he gets.
He even called Hill the best receiver he’s ever been around – even better than Randy Moss.
“[Tyreek] can run the whole route tree… name a route you don’t like him on. To me that’s what kind of separates him,” Welker said last season of Hill.
Despite the initial drama, it’s clear that Hill was just joking around when it comes to Welker. (Or so we think!)
Regardless, what are your thoughts on Welker’s career? … Who was better: Welker or Julian Edelman?
As for Hill, where do you rank him among the top wide receivers in the league?
How many more years does he have left at a truly elite level?
For the Dolphins, is this the year they finally break through and go on a legitimate Super Bowl run???
