The Miami Dolphins ended their season last Sunday with an ugly loss to the New York Jets that included an ugly situation with their star wide receiver, Tyreek Hill. The 30-year-old seemed to quit on his team by refusing to go back in the game in the second half, which led to him later implying he wanted out of Miami.
While it seems like things have calmed down a bit in Miami, thanks to a long talk between head coach Mike McDaniel and Hill, it wasn't the best of looks for one of the best receivers in the game.
A new video from Sunday's game shows the moment Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle found out Hill wasn't coming back on the field. In it you can hear him asking Hill if he's done.
I found this nugget while rewatching the game. This wasn’t just quitting on his team, it was quitting on everyone who believed in him: the fans, the coaches, and even his family. The moment Waddle asked Reek if he was done, it became painfully clear, he gave up. That choice… pic.twitter.com/uLe4anxuLb

Like I know of lot of the guys took the high road or wouldn’t speak about it.
But he QUIT how do you bring someone like that back into the locker room?
2 score game with over a quarter left, unbelievable! #GoFins https://t.co/72cVQj7Yhd
Miami CANNOT allow Hill to go without severe consequences over this. Not just a fine. That attitude will spread among young players if not handled correctly. Let’s see what happens. https://t.co/Sqk2xHKGzV

Coward move. Own it. @cheetah This is what you’re gonna be remembered for with the dolphins and it’s a damn shame. The guy who quit on his teammates. https://t.co/nFqmUXWM0b

If I’m the Dolphins GM, I’d trade Tyreek Hill this offseason. You can’t let your best player and second-highest earner quit on the team, especially in the 3rd quarter with the game still within reach. Allowing this sends a terrible message to the young players. https://t.co/lIeTpdm77j
