Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill is not short on confidence, so when posed with the question of how he’d fare against one of the greatest cornerbacks of all time, he predicted he would dominate.
During an appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, Hill was asked if he’d put up 100 yards on Hall of Famer Deion Sanders if both of them were in their primes, and he said he’d do even more than that.
“I’m putting 175 on Deion, easy. 175, two touchdowns, Prime Time,” Hill said around the 9:45 mark.
Hill went on to explain that he believes the receivers of today’s era would have an advantage over cornerbacks of the past like Sanders due to how the game is played.
“Prime was a GOAT though, but you gotta understand, they played a lot of man-to-man back in the day,” he said. “I feel like generations have changed, and receivers have changed. We’ve got so much stuff, and our generations so many crazy movements and we know all this crazy stuff.”
Sanders was an eight-time Pro Bowler and eight-time All-Pro with six first-team selections. He had to contend with Hall of Famers like Jerry Rice during his day, but Hill believes his slight frame at 5’9″, 197 pounds would present matchup problems for the current Colorado coach.
“I’m quicker, more agile, I can move a whole lot, quick-twitch guy, I can catch screens,” Hill said. “It’s a whole lot that goes into a game, so I’m not saying I’m gonna put the whole [175] up by going deep or running an actual route. I’m catching screens, I’m doing whatever the game needs me to do to get yardage on Deion.”
Hill also said that he would be “disrespectful” by doing Sanders’ celebration in the end zone, adding that he’d also point to Sanders while saying, “You like that, don’t you?”
