Things got intense at the Dolphins’ training camp on Tuesday, and wide receiver Tyreek Hill fully embraced the heated moments.
While coaches often view practice fights as risky and unnecessary, Hill offered a contrasting perspective. The scuffle began between running back Jaylen Wright and cornerback Kader Kahou, with rookie tackle Patrick Paul joining in before things settled down. After practice, Hill explained why he saw the incident as beneficial.
“I think the fight we had today was amazing. We need that. Teams that I’ve been on that won, those teams fought,” Hill said, via Kauchik Sampath of the Miami Herald. “They aren’t going to fight in the locker room. This is where you fight. Then right after the play, you calm yourself down; in between the whistle, you’re right back at it with no mental errors.”
Cornerback Jalen Ramsey addressed the team post-practice, emphasizing the importance of “being the bully.” This might have been linked to safety Jordan Poyer’s comment about the Dolphins historically faltering under pressure. Demonstrating the same intensity during the season will be crucial for the team to shed that reputation.
