Tyreek Hill had a hilarious response to viral 12-year-old Texas football star who seems to look nowhere near age
Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill had some thoughts on the viral photo of a 12-year-old football star from Texas. The photo of Jeremiah Johnson, a youth footballer from Fort Worth, circulated online for his "Most Valuable Player" trophy in the 2022 Youth National Championships held in Miami, Florida.
Johnson's photo quickly made the rounds on the internet due to his appearance, suggesting that the young player is not really 12, but much older.
ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ if this man tackled my 12 year old son im running on the field https://t.co/7ooxGMdM5t
Tyreek Hill took to Twitter to weigh in on the matter.
If that 12 year old really 12 my son not playing football, these kids built different 😂
Arguably, if Hill's kid is as fast as his dad, he might have a chance at avoiding Jeremiah Johnson's imposing presence on the football field. Football is everything in Texas, and it seems they grow them different in the Lone Star State.
Tyreek Hill has thrived this season away from Patrick Mahomes
When the Kansas City Chiefs traded away star receiver Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins, many wondered if both Hill and quarterback Patrick Mahomes would struggle without each other. However, 15 weeks into the NFL season, both players are thriving in different ways.
Mahomes and the Kansas City offense pivoted and are spreading the ball around more rather than hyper-targeting Hill and star tight end Travis Kelce. The star quarterback has spread the ball out to other receivers like Mecole Hardman, free agent additions JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and rookie Skyy Moore.
The midseason signing of Kadarius Toney should also provide another weapon for Mahomes, although Toney has been injured and not able to stay on the field much.
In Miami, Hill formed instant chemistry with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Tagovailoa has two speedy receivers in both Hill and second-year wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. The result has been an 8-5 Dolphins team in the thick of the AFC playoff race.
If the 10-3 Chiefs and the Dolphins continue on their current trajectory, there is a good chance that both teams will meet up in the AFC playoffs. Both offenses have provided plenty of scoring and explosive plays, so a reunion matchup between Tyreek Hill and Patrick Mahomes would certainly set off fireworks.
