Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill spent the offseason healing.

“I feel back to being myself. No pain,” Hill said Tuesday, assessing his physical recovering from wrist surgery. “No complaints.”

The 31-year-old led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards in 2023. But last season was largely a disappointment for Hill, who said his competitive nature got the best of him when the Dolphins shuffled quarterbacks and failed to put a scare — or much of a fight at all — into defenses they way Miami did when Tua Tagovailoa was healthy.

Also fighting through a wrist injury he said was a factor part of the year, Hill ended the season furious and shared a few words he indicated he might like to have back. As a playoff observer, Hill demanded a trade and wondered on multiple occasions and with peak energy whether another team would be better for him.

“I’ve always been a competitor, dog,” Hill said. “In those moments like that, I need to be better as a leader. There’s a ton of little kids that look up to me as a player, as a role model.”

Hill said he spent time being a father and gained a different perspective. He huddled coaches and teammates and is determined to be better in multiple ways in 2025 after he hauled in 81 catches for 959 yards in 2024.

Now he says what the Dolphins are going to get out of Hill this season is his best.

“I told my dad: I want to see what it looks like when I just focus on football, on myself and family,” Hill said. “I feel like I haven’t been giving the best version of Tyreek my whole entire career. I’ve always been trying to be here and be there, but me being able to slow down a little bit, train and bust my tail for myself and then also for this community and this team, I feel like it’ll be worth it.”
