Miami Dolphins players decided to strip the captain's patch off the chest of teammate Tyreek Hill.
The Dolphins announced their 2025 team captains on Monday, and for the first time since 2022, the five-time All-Pro wide receiver is not among them.
Hill, a controversial figure throughout his career, created a stir at the end of the 2024 season when he removed himself from a loss to the New York Jets in the season finale. He also suggested he wanted out of Miami, though he walked back those comments with an apology later.
The Dolphins players voted to return quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, fullback Alec Ingold and defensive tackle Zach Sieler as captains. Joining them are center Aaron Brewer as well as linebackers Jordyn Brooks and Bradley Chubb.
'We were focused on giving the keys to captaincy to guys that had earned it each and every day,' head coach Mike McDaniel said, per ESPN. 'That's what speaks to me the most is a football team that knows who it wants to be led by.'
Hill, 31, spent the first six seasons of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs.
In 141 career games (123 starts), he has 798 receptions for 11,098 yards with 82 touchdowns. He has caught more than 1,100 yards six times, including an NFL leading 1,799 yards in 2023.
