Tyreek Hill has plenty of reasons to be envious of his former team, Kansas City Chiefs, this weekend as they get set to play for a third straight Super Bowl тιтle.
But the fact that the President, Donald Trump, is going to be in the stands to watch Sunday’s showdown against Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans is another aspect of the game that will have Hill wishing he was out on the field.
‘That’s tremendous. To be able to play in front of Donald Trump, that would be something to knock off the bucket list,’ the Miami Dolphins star told Fox.
‘Not every day you get to play football in front of the guy who people respect and is at the top of the helm of this country.
‘I’ve always been a fan of Donald Trump, by the way. That’ll be awesome.
Wide receiver Hill, 30, played for the Chiefs from 2016 until 2021, winning one Super Bowl тιтle, before being traded to the Dolphins in 2022.

He signed a four-year, $120m deal with the Dolphins and the $72million guaranteed fee made him the best paid wide receiver in the NFL.
But while Hill is counting his money, his former teammates are counting Super Bowl rings.
Sunday’s game could see the Chiefs become the first team to win three straight тιтles in the Super Bowl era.
Last season, the Dolphins lost to the Chiefs in the playoffs while this time around, the Dolphins failed to make the postseason altogether.
It was a huge source of frustration for Hill, who recently walked back claims that he wanted to leave the franchise.
Earlier this week he issued a public apology to his teammate and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
‘I don’t want to go nowhere,’ he told Kay Adams. ‘I love it. My family loves it. Kids absolutely love being on the beach every morning. So it’s an amazing thing, man.
‘We are really building something special in Miami. We made it to the playoffs the first two years. Obviously, this year was hard, but if guys continue to buy into what coach (Mike McDaniel) is building and the culture that he’s trying to build, it’s going to be a beautiful thing, man.’
