**MIAMI GARDENS, FL** – Miami Dolphins players are enjoying a well-deserved Memorial Day weekend before the intensity of Organized Team Activities (OTAs) begins, marking the completion of the first two phases of the offseason program.
Despite being sidelined due to offseason wrist surgery, wide receiver Tyreek Hill is garnering praise from coaches for his unwavering dedication and positive attitude. While unable to catch passes, Hill’s commitment to the team has been evident.
“I think it’s a guy who is extremely motivated to get better each day and to be a positive impact on the offense and team,” said Offensive Coordinator Frank Smith. “He’s got energy every day, he’s working through his process. He’s been great so far through the offseason.”
Smith addressed any lingering concerns stemming from Hill’s post-season comments, reassuring fans and media that Hill has expressed a strong desire to remain with the Dolphins. “Yeah, and I think so far our buy-in with the guys and everyone collectively and trying to use the way last season went as our motivation to make sure we maximize each day,” Smith said.
A timetable for Hill’s return to practice remains uncertain, with expectations that he will likely be held out for the entirety of the offseason program, including OTAs and the veteran minicamp scheduled for June 10-12.
The Dolphins have also welcomed a new addition to the coaching staff, with Robert Prince stepping in as wide receivers coach, replacing Wes Welker. Prince has already established a strong rapport with Hill, praising his work ethic and leadership.
“Tyreek has been great,” Prince said. “I mean, if I text him, he texts me back. If I call him, he calls me back… I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with Tyreek and he’s a great leader in the room.” Prince even mentioned Hill treated the whole receiver staff to a dinner.
“He is a hard worker and one of the hardest competitors. All he wants to do is win and he brings great energy out of the field. And the guy wants to be coached and he wants to be great. So that’s how I’m going to coach him.”
As the Dolphins prepare for the upcoming season, Hill’s commitment and leadership, even during his recovery, are proving to be valuable assets. The team is focused on maximizing each day and building upon the lessons learned from the previous season.
