Tyreek Hill was just trying to be a good teammate, but his Miami Dolphins colleague didn’t care for the message.
On Friday, Hill gave a meaty performance during his media availability, broaching subjects from his mastery of the offense this year to saying he agreed with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa that he needed to be a better leader on the Dolphins for the upcoming season.
Then he took a shot at running back De’Von Achane. He suggested the Dolphins keep the 5-foot-9, 191-pound back off the field in third-and-short situations.
“Take (Achane) out on 3rd-down,” Hills told reporters, via the Dolphins. “What? That’s my honest opinion. If it’s third-and-short, he’s not a power back. I’ve been telling him that in the locker room… I love De’Von, but If I’m being honest, that’s why you got Jaylen Wright, that’s why you got Ollie Gordon.”
Achane responded to Hill giving his opinion to the media.
“That’s how you feel,” Achane wrote with a laughing emoji.
