Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreke Hill has a lofty goal for the 2023 NFL season as he enters his second year at South Beach.

“Oh yes, of course,” Hill said Thursday when asked if the 2,000-yard mark was realistic. “I think the added game gives me a big advantage, so yeah.”

In his first year in MiamiHill was brilliant with 119 passes for 1,710 yards, also a career high.
He did it with an ever-changing quarterback line-up as a starter. QB Tua Tagovailoa missed five starts while sidelined with two documented concussions.
Hill told reporters Thursday that health will play a major role in Miami having a more stable year in 2023.

“Obviously stay healthy. This is the most important thing for all of us and it seems that some injuries prevented us from being exactly where we wanted to be last year,” Hill said in the team transcript. “So, just stay healthy, be available to each other, and just practice the basics and techniques every week and stay accountable.”

“For me not to get injured, to come every day wanting to get better, wanting to be coached,” Hill said. “And I feel like I have the right tools around me. I have by far the most accurate quarterback in the NFL. I have one of the best head coaches in the NFL and my positional coach is a monster. .

“So just having those three things and keeping the same mindset every day that I want to get better and I want to break the record. And I really want to break the record. So, I feel like this is one of those years where I can get it.”
In March, the Dolphins selected Tagovailoa as their starting quarterback, using his fifth-year option.
