Miami Dolphins All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill could’ve been playing for another team if not for a legendary actor.
Last year, Hill said he loved playing with the Dolphins in Madden and respected the team’s history and greats but that he also loved actor and comedian Adam Sandler, a big Jets fan.
His love for Sandler was not returned and it ensured where he wanted to go.
Hill has revealed that he almost joined the New York Jets, but the move failed due to actor Adam Sandler.
On Marlon Humphrey’s Punch Line Podcast, Hill said, “I was almost a New York Jet. I’m a huge Adam Sandler fan, and Adam Sandler loves the Jets. My whole thing was for Adam Sandler to call me, but he never called.
“If he called me, I would have joined.”

Hill also confirmed his choice between two teams: “It was between the Jets and Miami Dolphins.”
Hill ultimately made the correct decision and got traded to Miami. Over the last two seasons, Hill has scored 21 touchdowns and amassed 3509 receiving yards. The Dolphins have won 20 games and lost 14 since Hill joined.
In the meantime, the Jets have posted back-to-back losing seasons and have struggled to find a QB. Things should be much better with a healthy Aaron Rodgers.
