Few players have been luckier in landing an ideal situation right out of the gate during their NFL career than superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who got to play with veteran quarterback Alex Smith and for legendary head coach Andy Reid with the Kansas City Chiefs.
As if that wasn’t fortunate enough, Hill then got to benefit the most from the emergence of superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City, as he became the top threat downfield while sharing targets with fellow superstar Travis Kelce in the passing game.
Hill has been named to the Pro Bowl in each of his eight NFL seasons, six of them with the Chiefs before two with the Miami Dolphins, which is impressive, to say the least, as he’s already arguably bound for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Although Hill has achieved those lofty heights playing with quarterbacks like Smith, Mahomes and now Tua Tagovailoa, he admits he would’ve loved to catch passes from New England Patriots legend Tom Brady.
Hill opened up about seeing Brady on the field for the first time as an opponent in the NFL while on the “All The Smoke” podcast.
“It was like a movie,” Hill said. “I’m like rookie year, I see Tom Brady come out. He’s like running, and he runs to the end and like a lot of cameras following him. … Then he just started screaming and turning up. I’m like, yo, damn, I wish I was on his team.”
Tom Brady’s aura had Tyreek Hill ready to suit up for the Patriots 💀

Hill is one of many wide receivers in the league’s history who would’ve loved to be a target for arguably the greatest quarterback ever to play the game, as many have sung the praises of the seven-time Super Bowl champion.
Now, Hill will try to win his second title, this time playing in Miami with Tagovailoa, while Brady embarks on a new career as a game analyst.
