Tyreek Hill isn’t setting a 2,000-yard goal for the 2024 campaign for one simple reason: He’s focusing on team objectives.
“I would want us to, A: win a playoff game," the Miami Dolphins receiver said Tuesday. “I would love that. We’re going to start with that. Then moving forward continuing to build on that, we’re going to move to the Super Bowl. It’s one step at a time.”
Last year, Hill aimed at breaking the 2,000-yard barrier. He was on pace for a good portion of the season before injury derailed the bid. Hill finished with 1,799 yards.
On Tuesday, he noted that going after 2,000 yards again would be “very selfish" of him, particularly as a team leader.
“That’d be great. Grand scenario, that’d be great,” Hill said of reaching 2,000 this season. “But I feel like at the same time I have to understand that the position that I’m in and me being one of the leaders and just singling out an individual goal like that -- because I had time to go look at it and talk about it with my family; and that’s very selfish of me.”
Hill isn’t completely writing off the idea of earning 2,000 yards, but it’s not a goal. He’s simply going to take things as they come instead of aiming.
“I’m not saying it’s off the table, now,” he said. “But I understand how the season goes. Teams prepare to take me out of games. They prepare to take out of games, so there could be situations that I have good games. There could be situations where I have bad games.
"But let’s not scratch off the 2k yet, all right? If it comes, it comes."
In an explosive Dolphins offense, Hill should still stack numbers. If Miami is to reach Hill's team-centric goals, it will be partly because he had another big season.
