Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill responded after high praise from Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons.
In case you missed it, Dallas Cowboys superstar linebacker Micah Parsons called Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill the MVP of the league on November 21.
“Tyreek been the best player in the NFL this year!!!” Parsons sounded off on X after PFF asked fans if there’s a non-QB deserving of the MVP award in 2023.
Hill must have seen this bit of commentary from the Cowboys defender because he addressed the praise on his latest episode of the “It Needed To Be Said” podcast on November 24.
“I love it,” Hill first responded with a smile. “Absolutely love it, baby.” Although, the wideout did note that he was wary Parsons was trying to lower his guard ahead of the Miami’s Week 16 matchup with Dallas.
“It means a lot though, for real,” the Dolphins superstar voiced. “Coming from your peers, that means a lot, but sometimes I be trying [not to] get so tied into that [stuff] because I feel like sometimes people be trying to gaslight you.”
“Cause like, we play the Cowboys, and I can’t get too comfortable,” Hill explained, joking: “I get out there [on the field], Micah take my head off.”
“I ain’t falling for it,” Hill concluded as his co-host Julius Collins laughed and said: “You know what he doing… he trying to bait ya, man. Don’t go for it.
In fact, Washington is coming off a Thanksgiving Day blowout at the hands of Parsons and the aforementioned Cowboys, in which they allowed 431 total yards of offense and a defensive touchdown.
This is a good matchup for Hill as well. The Commanders have given up the third-most passing yards per game this year, at 264.6 yards per game.
Washington cornerbacks have specifically been getting torched this season. Benjamin St-Juste has allowed the most total receiving yards for all CBs in 2023 according to Pro Football Focus, with 741 allowed over 12 appearances.
Then, rookie first rounder Emmanuel Forbes is not far behind at 17th in the NFL in yardage allowed (490) — and is also injured — while veteran Kendall Fuller ranks tied for 33rd with 392 in coverage.
Needless to say, this is a game where pass-catchers like Hill and Jaylen Waddle could feast.
