For the first time since joining the Miami Dolphins in 2022, star wide receiver Tyreek Hill was not voted to be a captain by his teammates. The Dolphins missed the postseason for the first time in Hill’s career, and his comments left his status for 2025 uncertain. Head coach Mike McDaniel downplayed Hill’s omission when discussing the results of the players’ vote, saying after the captains announcement: “He was an active participator in voting for probably multiple captains that we do have. Naturally, I think there’s a lot of players that could do a great job being a captain, but for this team, the players vote for it. Tagovailoa also missed six games, and Hill had his least productive season since 2019 – finishing with under 1,000 receiving yards and six touchdowns.
