Tyreek Hill not only is one of the most electric players on the field with the Miami Dolphins, but he’s also got a potential future as streamer playing video games.

Hill is often seen online streaming video games, a common hobby for players and fans alike.

Games like NBA 2K and Madden are highly-popular today and players like Hill can’t seem to get enough of the video game franchises.

However, the rise of online gaming has produced more opportunities for people to make new friends and establish relationships they otherwise wouldn’t have met socializing in public.

Hill isn’t exempt from these sorts of occurrences as he’s made his fair share of friends playing video games with people online.

For example, Hill revealed he met one of his closest friends playing NBA 2K in college while he was still at Oklahoma State, via the “Around The Bar Podcast.”

In the video, Hill says he was playing with someone he knew for nearly 10 years before they met at the star wideout’s engagement party in 2021.

The receiver didn’t know it was his friend that pulled up until he revealed his gamer tag which Hill immediately recognized.

Since then, the two have remained close friends which goes to show that there are numerous ways to befriend someone in the technology age and that professional athletes operate like normal people, too.
