Tyreek Hill has no qualms in saying he’s the best player in the league, even ahead of former teammate Patrick Mahomes.

 Miami Dolphins Tyreek Hill and  Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes are two of the best players in football. The recent NFL Network’s Top 100 Players list painted a clear picture with a few surprises.

While Hill came in #1, Mahomes finished 4th, which created a ruckus throughout the NFL fandom. The veteran wide receiver’s numbers in the 2023 season definitely made a case for him. He had 119 receptions for a career-best 1799 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns.

During a recent interview with Kay Adams for Up & Adams, the Super Bowl winner stomped his claim as the #1 player in the NFL.

The Dolphins looked well on their way to finishing at the top of the AFC until they collapsed during the business end of the season, ending the regular season with an 11-7 record. Then a crushing defeat in the Kansas City snow cut short any hopes for a deep playoff run.

However, Hill’s personal underlying numbers in the regular season were enough for him to win the #1 player accolade. The 8-time Pro Bowler was already on bad terms with the Chiefs fans for leaving them in 2022, and after the recent announcement, they doubled down on him. Hill doesn’t mind.

Patrick Mahomes struggled without a top wideout in the Chiefs team. For the first time since 2019, the 28-year-old failed to cross 4200 passing yards. He finished with 4183 yards from 401 completions, 27 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions.

Mahomes finally came alive in the postseason, racking up career-best numbers with 104 completions for 1051 yards and 6 touchdowns. He was voted the Super Bowl MVP.
