Tyreek Hill Says 2025 Will Be His Best Season Despite Surgery, Career-Worst Year

Tyreek Hill eyes a massive 2025 comeback after wrist surgery.

Tyreek Hill isn’t backing down. The Miami Dolphins wide receiver, fresh off his 31st birthday, made a big promise to fans on X:

“This will be my best year yet dolfans” ✌️

This will be my best year yet dolfans ✌🏿
— Ty Hill (@cheetah) March 1, 2025

That’s a bold statement, considering 2024 was the worst statistical season of his nine-year career. Hill finished with just 81 receptions, 959 yards, and six touchdowns—the first time since 2019 he failed to hit 1,000 yards. He also missed the Pro Bowl and playoffs, both firsts for him. Now, with wrist surgery in the rearview, Hill is betting on himself.

Tyreek Hill went from historic dominance in 2023 to a frustrating 2024 season with Miami Dolphins

Not long ago, Tyreek Hill was making history. In 2023, he put up absurd numbers—119 catches, 1,799 yards, and 13 touchdowns. Career highs in every category. He came second in the AP Offensive Player of the Year voting, only behind Christian McCaffrey. That season cemented him as one of the most dominant wide receivers in recent memory.

Then came 2024. A complete shift. Hill’s numbers took a dive, and so did Miami Dolphins’ playoff hopes. They finished 8-9, outside the postseason picture. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missed six games with concussions and a hip injury, which didn’t help. Miami’s offense, once electric, struggled. Hill went from breaking records to fighting through one of his least productive years.

Tyreek Hill’s wrist surgery and offseason recovery could shape his 2025 comeback season with Miami Dolphins

Hill didn’t just deal with a down year—he also played through injury. After the season ended, he underwent wrist surgery for ligament damage. He’s expected to miss most of the offseason while recovering.

Then, there was the frustration. At one point, Hill hinted at wanting out of Miami Dolphins. He later walked those comments back, blaming the emotions of a disappointing season.

Still, Hill isn’t lowering expectations. He believes 2025 will be his best year yet. If Tua Tagovailoa stays healthy, and Miami Dolphins find their rhythm, he has a shot at making that statement a reality.

I write about sports because, well, it brings in the big bucks! I’m not some lifelong analyst or stats guru, truth being told, you’ve probably never heard of me!—I just know how to research, write, and make things sound good. That’s the job!
Got into sports media the same way most people do: by (fortunate) accident. Started with SEO writing, took on a few sports gigs, and now here we are! I cover games, trades, player drama—whatever needs words.
Favorite part? The chaos. One day it’s a blockbuster trade, the next it’s a goat running onto the field. Never boring.
