Tyreek Hill or Kevin Hart? Fan fails to recognize Dolphins WR as 'Cheetah'

For most in NFL circles, when the name Tyreek Hill is mentioned, they know who is being talked about. Such is the receiver's fame among the sports world that even some who don't pay attention to the NFL know who Hill is.

Well, almost everyone ...

It does seem odd that not everyone knows who the dynamic receiver is, but that is the reality Hill faced in a hilarious video posted on NFL on Prime's TikTok page. A fan was asked for a dollar, who the man standing next to him was (Hill), and the response was not what the receiver expected.

Watch below.

The man said that the receiver looks like comedian Kevin Hart, which could be seen as a compliment to the receiver, but also a bit of a dig.

Given how well known the receiver is, we can see in the video that the response from the man was not what he was expecting and likely took a shot at the receiver's ego.

Most NFL players can't go out anywhere without being recognized, but for the Dolphins star at least, he can go out in that neighborhood without being known.

Hill well known in NFL circles

New York Jets vs. Miami Dolphins

While that person didn't know who the receiver is, everyone in the sports world generally does. Nicknamed "The Cheetah" due to his blistering speed, Hill is one of the best in the NFL at what he does.

He can line up anywhere on the offense and be a home run threat on every play. The receiver swapped Kansas City for Miami in the offseason and had a career-best year for the Dolphins.

Hill totaled career-best stats in receiving yards (1,710) and yards per game (100.6) as he was the Dolphins' main attacking threat. While seeing the Chiefs win the Super Bowl the year he moved would hurt the receiver, the man not knowing who he is would hurt as well.

It seems like the receiver has some work to do off the field if he wants to be as recognizable on the field as he is off it.
