The Miami Dolphins acquired perennial Pro Bowl wideout Tyreek Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs this offseason for five draft picks, including a first-round selection next month. The addition of Hill also meant a new contract extension, as Hill inked a reported four-year, $120 million extension that averages $30 million per year, with $72.2 million guaranteed.

It's fair to assume that Hill is going to be the focal point of Miami's new-look offense. He's a weapon that can do it all, whether it's taking a screen to the house or beating safeties deep for the long score. While Dolphins general manager Chris Grier is dreaming of how his new head coach Mike McDaniel will use Hill, he was thrown off by Hill's first request.

"Tyreek, the first thing he said was I want to make sure I'm back there, getting a couple of (punt) returns every game," Grier said

I have mixed emotions on Hill returning kicks. On the one hand, the injury risk is increased. But that's also another way to change the game with a big return.
 
Having the ability to field Hill + Waddle as punt returners in key situations is legit such a weapon for this team. But as other posters have pointed out, as a matter of routine, neither of them should be back there. Neither should Holland be for that matter. They're too valuable.
 
I still would only put him back there for key returns.

It may not be as risky as kick returning but I still would be pissed if he got hurt returning punts.

he is very good at avoiding contact so you an trust him not to risk himself doing it but I would only use him in big situations.

I don't want to see Waddle or Holland doing it much either, those two are going to be significant players for Miami for a long time .
 
I love Hill's confidence, he knows how good he is and backs it up with his play. But it's a request that should be denied, except maybe a handful of returns the entire season.

It's not like diva WR confidence or unwarranted (ala Jakeem Grant). Pretty sure he will request to play every position, even punter.
