Tyreek gained recognition as a wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs. In March 2022, he secured a groundbreaking four-year contract with the Miami Dolphins valued at $120 million, establishing him as the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history at that time.

Hill’s achievements include being a first-team All-Pro in 2016, 2018, and 2020, as well as multiple appearances in the Pro Bowl from 2016 to 2021. He clinched victory at Super Bowl LIV with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2020 and also attained a gold medal 4×100 m relay and a bronze in 200 m at the 2012 Barcelona World Junior Championships when he was just 18.

Early Life

Born on March 1, 1994, in Lauderhill, Florida, Tyreek Hill was raised by his grandparents, Virginia and Herman Hill, in Pearson, Georgia. Virginia, who considers herself a mother figure to Tyreek, recalled bringing him home from the hospital saying, “I prefer mother, even though I know I’m a grandmother first. I’m mom to him.” Tyreek started playing flag football at a young age, joining a Pop Warner league at 7 where he played alongside 10-year-olds. He later attended Coffee High School, where he excelled in track and emerged victorious in the 100 meters and 200 meters at the Georgia 5A state meet in 2012. Tyreek’s outstanding performance at the 2012 Golden South Classic earned him the title of “High School Athlete of the Year” from “Track and Field News” and a spot in “USA Today’s” All-American track and field selections.

College Career

After high school, Tyreek participated in both football and track at Garden City Community College in Kansas before transferring to Oklahoma State University in 2014. However, he faced dismissal from the university’s football team in December 2014 following an arrest for domestic violence. Despite this setback, Tyreek showcased his talent by achieving second place in the country for combined return yards and 11th in all-purpose yards. In September 2015, Hill enrolled at the University of West Alabama, showcasing his versatility as a wide receiver, running back, kick returner, and punt returner for the Tigers football team.

Professional Career

Impressing scouts at West Alabama’s Pro Day, Tyreek defied expectations by getting drafted as the 165th pick in the 2016 NFL draft, making him the first West Alabama player to be drafted in decades. The Kansas City Chiefs faced criticism for selecting him, but head coach Andy Reid commended Hill’s efforts to better himself through counseling and other measures. In May 2016, Hill signed a four-year contract with the team worth $2.58 million (comprising a $70,000 signing bonus) and commenced his NFL journey as a kick returner, punt returner, and wide receiver. Tyreek’s first NFL catch resulted in a nine-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Alex Smith. Notably, he secured a unique feat during a game against the Denver Broncos by achieving a kick return, receiving touchdown, and rushing touchdown in a single game, akin to Gale Sayers’ accomplishment in 1965. This outstanding performance earned Tyreek the AFC Offensive Player of the Week title. Throughout the season, Hill continued to excel, receiving honors such as AFC Special Teams Player of the Week, leading in punt return touchdowns and yards, and earning selections for the Pro Bowl, All-Rookie Team, and First-team All-Pro. Peers also ranked him as the #36 player in the “NFL Top 100 Players of 2017” list.

Tyreek’s professional journey saw multiple achievements, including Pro Bowl selection in 2017 and 2018, along with being named to both first and second-team All-Pro in 2018. Despite a temporary suspension from the team in April 2019 amid a child abuse investigation, Hill returned to sign a lucrative three-year contract extension worth $54 million after being cleared. Injuries posed challenges, such as a sternoclavicular joint dislocation during the 2019 season opener, delaying his return until week six. Notably, Tyreek played a pivotal role as the Chiefs clinched the AFC West and emerged victorious in Super Bowl LIV against the San Francisco 49ers with a score of 31–20. He continued to shine during the 2020 season, earning accolades like AFC Offensive Player of the Week in week 12. The Chiefs advanced to Super Bowl LV, where they faced a defeat against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In a remarkable display of skill, Tyreek set a new team record with 106 receptions in a single season in January 2022. Subsequently, he made headlines by transitioning to the Miami Dolphins through a trade, signing a jaw-dropping four-year, $120 million contract extension, featuring a guaranteed sum of $72.2 million.

Personal Life

In December 2014, Tyreek’s arrest for allegedly assaulting his pregnant girlfriend, Crystal Espinal, led to his dismissal from the Oklahoma State football team. Following a guilty plea for domestic assault and battery by strangulation, Hill received a three-year probation sentence and was mandated to complete an anger-management course. Despite these challenges, Tyreek and Espinal got engaged in September 2018. The couple faced controversy in March 2019 when Tyreek was investigated for battery after their young son, Zev, broke his arm. Concerns arose with a recording surfacing where Crystal questioned Tyreek about their son’s statement implicating him, to which Tyreek responded in a controversial manner. The Kansas Department of Children and Families intervened temporarily, placing Zev under care. Medical investigations later revealed that the fractured bone resulted from a common accident typical for rambunctious toddlers.

Hill and Espinal are parents to twins, Nyla and Nakeem. In July 2019, Crystal sought legal custody and residency of the children soon after their birth. In December 2020, Tyreek disclosed his relationship with Keeta Vaccaro, who accepted his proposal on July 4, 2021. Notably, in March 2022, reports surfaced suggesting Tyreek’s involvement with painter and Instagram model Mary Isabel.

Over the years, Tyreek has faced paternity disputes. In an interview in April 2024, Hill claimed to have 10 children, having three within a four-month period by three different women.

Contracts

In 2019, Tyreek inked a three-year, $54 million deal with the Chiefs. His career trajectory soared further in March 2022 with the historic signing of a 4-year, $120 million contract with the Dolphins, featuring a staggering $72 million in guaranteed money.

Real Estate

Towards the end of 2019, Hill invested in a 7,562 square foot residence near Kansas City. The five-bedroom property was put up for sale at $1.3 million a year following its acquisition.
