The Miami Dolphins threw their hat in the ring this offseason when they traded for six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Tyreek Hill. The trade did not come without a high price, as Miami sent a first-round, a second-round, two fourth-rounds and a fifth-round pick to Kansas City for the All-Pro receiver.
Nevertheless, the Dolphins are hoping that adding a receiver as explosive as Hill can take their offense to a new level. But he might not only impact the Miami offense. Dolphins All-Pro cornerback Xavien Howard held a press conference Wednesday to discuss his contract extension. During the press conference, Howard detailed another impact Hill is likely to have with Miami.

NBC Sports‘ Josh Alper noted Howard comments, saying “We’ve got a lot of speed over there… I think we’ll get each other better. I played against him in college and also in the league. I just want to focus on getting each other better. That’s really it.”
Howard and Hill have already had some pretty great battles on the field. But now they get to practice against one another. That should absolutely lend itself to exactly what Howard is talking about, making them better.
The Dolphins didn’t just add speed at wide receiver. Miami signed former Cowboys wideout Cedrick Wilson, the former Cardinals speedy tailback Chase Edmonds, along with downhill rusher Raheem Mostert who previously rushed for four touchdowns in an NFC Championship game.
However, the entire AFC is stacked with Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan, Davante Adams among the many superstars jumping conferences. It’ll be interesting to see how much of an impact Hill has on the Dolphins overall success.
