Tyreek Hill is incredible. There are playmakers across the league, but none of them are on the level of the Miami Dolphins' superstar. The electric wideout had another massive day on Sunday, catching 5 passes for 157 yards and 2 touchdowns. He broke free for touchdown catches of 78 and 60 yards, the first of which was his longest catch of the season.
Well, there is someone that Tyreek Hill is on the same level as, and he played for the Miami Dolphins a long time ago.
Hill matched franchise legend Mark Duper from 1986 with his 8th game of 100+ receiving yards for the season.
Hill was able to get to seven 100+ yard games last year, but the offense sputtered over the team's final month and Hill only reaching the 100-yard mark twice in his last seven regular season games. Now, through just 12 games and with Miami's offense humming like a well-oiled machine, Hill is poised to shatter the team record.
Duper had a massive year in 1986, grabbing 67 passes for 1313 yards and 11 receiving touchdowns. The latter two categories were career highs for the former Dolphin great. Duper played for the Dolphins his entire career from 1982 through the 1992 season. He compiled 511 catches for 8869 yards and 59 touchdowns in his career.
Hill is having a historic season, on pace for an NFL record 2100 receiving yards and making it impossible to ignore him as a legitimate candidate for the league's MVP award.
He could add an impressive team record to his resume along the way as early as next week against the Tennessee Titans on Monday Night Football.
