Tyreek won me over in 2022. I was against the Hill trade in principle. It’s almost never a good idea to trade nearly an entire draft plus give top tier contract, let alone to an almost 30 year WR.
It wasn’t necessarily Tyreek’s play, but because of his bombastic support for Tua before they ever played a game together. Tua’s confidence got **** on by the organization’s multiple benching in high stakes or attempts to get other QBs. Gesicki is the only one that went to bat for Tua’s ability to the media in early years so I’ll alway have a soft spot for him but everyone else from FO, coaches, and WRs gave canned support teammate statements.
Tua absolutely needed a player with Tyreek’s cache to back him publicly, which rubbed off and instilled a cultural belief in Tua. We make a lot of McD’s plane call with Tua but I firmly believe Tyreek’s backing had a much bigger influence in that locker room.
I’m going to support and enjoy having Tyreek the next two years and hope things work out for the best of both sides.
