Mike McDaniel Unconcerned Tyreek Hill Drops

Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill has had some costly drops lately, but coach Mike McDaniel isn't concerned about his Pro Bowl receiver.

Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill has had an impressive season, but his recent costly drops have been a cause for concern. In Week 17, he dropped a crucial touchdown pass in a loss to the Ravens, leading to the Dolphins settling for a field goal. Then, in a game against the Bills, he missed a pass that could have resulted in a 50-yard score, and the Dolphins ended up with a game-ending interception.

Despite his 119 receptions for 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns this season, Hill has dropped 11 passes. However, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel expressed confidence in his Pro Bowl receiver, emphasizing the high expectations placed on a player of Hill's caliber. McDaniel highlighted the fact that Hill is often targeted in high-stakes situations and faces contested passes, making it challenging for him to make every play.

Hill's 171 targets accounted for 30.2 percent of the team's passes, and his 11 drops ranked second in the league. It's worth noting that Hill has been playing through an ankle injury since Week 14, which may have impacted his performance.

Despite the recent drops and injury, Hill's talent and contributions to the team are highly valued, and the Dolphins remain confident in his abilities. While he has not had a 100-yard game since Week 13, his overall impact on the team is undeniable.
