Tyreek Hill was traded by the Kansas City Chiefs to the Miami Dolphins this offseason. After leaving Kansas, Hill made some pretty interesting comments about quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The former Kansas City wide receiver discussed Mahomes and his accuracy compared to Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Hill claimed that Tagovailoa is more accurate than his former quarterback saying "he's that dude."

In an exclusive chat with Sportskeeda, Chiefs wideout Mecole Hardman shared his thoughts on the remarks of his former teammate about Mahomes.

“Oh man, I don't know. I mean, it's somebody’s opinion. So, it just, how he feels. It ain’t nothing to do with what we got going on here. So, his opinion is his opinion, everybody got their opinion and he’s entitled to his opinion.”

Mahomes, the 2018 NFL MVP, responded to Hill, saying that trying to get his podcast rolling was the reason for his comments.

"I'm surprised a little just because I feel like we love Tyreek here. We've always loved him. We still love him".
"I'm sure it had something to do with trying to get his podcast some stuff and get it rolling.”

The Kansas City quarterback concluded by saying that he still loves the wideout and that he’s a one-of-a-kind player.

"I still love Tyreek. He's a one-of-a-kind player. In coach [Andy] Reid's offense it takes the whole team. This offense was rolling before I got here. This offense was rolling when I was a young Cowboys fan watching the Eagles [coached by Reid] beat up on the Cowboys. It's an offense that's more than one player, and that includes myself."

The wideout spent the first six seasons of his NFL career with Kansas City, making the Pro Bowl in all six seasons. He made the first-team All-Pro three times, with four seasons of over 1,100 yards receiving.

While Hill's departure does leave a gap in the offense, the Chiefs signed receivers Juju Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling to fill the void.

Without question, Mecole Hardman is expected to have an increased role in Kansas City’s offense this season. He finished behind Hill in receiving yards over the last two seasons and will hope to have more of an impact this season.
