Hill lengthened his point when asked if he wants or believes he deserves to be the captain of the team again for the 2025 season.
“I have to prove myself. This OTA, training camp, I have to prove myself,” he said. “I have to meet differently. The mindset must be different. I don’t feel like I deserve it, and if I didn’t get it I wouldn’t stay with it. I wouldn’t sweat it because I put myself in that position.”
Miami’s frustrating campaign was not all on the floor. The dolphins were in synchronization most of the season and some injuries – especially to team manager Tua Tagovailoa, who missed six games, including his last two with a dock after a season on the line – finally took a toll and when the club was supported in the playoff games.
Hill flirted with the minimum period with 81 reception for 959 meters and six matches, but fought through a wrist injury and did not miss out. This was the first time in his nine -year career that he missed both Pro Bowl and the playoff games, the latter inaction he says has affected his frustrated comments at the end of the season.
“It was difficult. Obviously, feelings were great then,” said Hill, who seemed to be out of the end of Dolphins’ normal period. “At the end of the day, a man, I’m just looking to continue it and hope I can prove to myself and prove to my teammates that I am still one of them, a man who enjoys chasing 2k [receiving yards]Still, one of those who chase dreams of dreams and all that wonderful stuff. “
Hill underwent surgery outside the season on the right wrist and was seen with a protective stick during Ota this week. Mike McDaniel, who considered Hill’s comments and actions after a match as unacceptable, told reporters on Wednesday that he was encouraged by the preventative approach to The Wideout while recovering from his surgery.
Hill produced 1,700 plus campaigns in a row in his early years with Dolphins and in the McDaniel’s high -flying system. This 31 -year -old player is looking to restore that magic in 2025 with a newly found perspective following the uncomfortable end of last season.
“For one, s —, I’m going to go to church more and do more treatment,” Hill replied when asked how he intends to deal with some resentment in the future. “I’ve found it more of my team lately, just to be more involved in it. Then, just understand what a coach is trying to do. I feel like I came here first, I wouldn’t say I wasn’t all bought in, here.
