A Rising Star: Tyreek Hill

Hi, I know I should be posting about the week, but I have been really interested in the Chiefs rookie speedster receiver Tyreek Hill and today I thought I would post about him. Some other news that this happens to be my 200th post so yay! Here it is:

Tyreek Hill was drafted in the 5th round of the draft, no one thought he would be more than a backup. He had issues with domestic violence which hit his draft stock so he would go a lot lower than he would have. The Chiefs believed in the young speedster and it turned out to pay off. Hill has lead the Chiefs offense as a rookie and gave the Chiefs a prime playoff spot that will maybe end up a first round BYE, Hill has really helped the Chiefs. Lets take a look at Hill's stats thus far into the season. He currently has 6 receiving TD's and 56 receptions for 547 yards. He also is a big runner. He has 227 rushing yards with a good 3 TD's. He also has 1 kickoff return TD and 1 punt return TD. He has 11 total TD's this year as a 5th round rookie pick is really good. Hill really worked his way into the Chiefs roster. He started out randomly rotating in on plays and in week 1 he did just that and had 1 catch for 6 yards but a TD. He was familiar with the endzone from day 1. In week 3, Hill had 3 catches for 26 yards which was something. Hill didn't seem like anything special, but as the year goes on, Hill gets better and better. Week 4 he had 5 catches for 24 yards and a TD. He was back in the endzone! Over the next few weeks, Hill became known getting lots of yards and a few TD's but week 12 vs the Denver Broncos was something special. Hill scored a kickoff return TD, a rushing TD, and a receiving TD, leading the Chiefs to the important OT win. Hill gave the Chiefs a future WR1 who can make great plays. Week after week, Hill kept burning defenses. In week 14, 2 weeks after his huge game against the Broncos, Hill had yet another great game game. 6 receptions for 66 yards and a TD.  I mean 50+ Yards and a TD is pretty good. Since the week 12 matchup Vs. Denver everyone knew Tyreek Hill was for real. Hill was playing at an all-star level and has been explosive since. If you thought that was all, you're wrong. The next week after their win against the Raiders, Hill exploded out of the backfield for a 68 yard TD to give the Chiefs an early lead over the Titans who they ended up losing to in the end. Last night, Tyreek Hill and the Chiefs took on the Broncos once again who Hill exposed with 3 TD's like I said earlier. Hill lit them up again but not as well as he did last time. He had 1 rush for a 70 yard TD and then 5 more carries for 25 more yards and gave the Chiefs a TD in their big win to eliminate last seasons super bowl champs from playoff contention. The Chiefs will take on the Chargers week 17 and with them playing against the one team that Browns beat, I think Hill will light them up in the Chiefs maybe easiest match-up of the year. With that game probably an easy win, the Raiders will probably lose a road game to the Broncos where backup QB Matt McGloin will have to fare against the best D in the league. If the Chiefs win and the Raiders lose the Chiefs will steal the first round BYE. I think Tyreek Hill will countinue to help the Chiefs win games by running past everyone and he will be a key memeber of a Chiefs teamt that could possibly take it all the way to the Super Bowl. Look out for Hill because he is a rookie of the year contender and will be a force in the near future.

Thanks for reading and make sure to watch a fun game in Dallas tonight where they host the playoff budding Lions.
