Summary

Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson and former Chief Kyle Long have sparked a debate on whether the Kansas City Chiefs should reach out to Tyreek Hill following recent injuries to their wide receiver corps. During the latest episode of CBS Sports' "Set Hut," Wilson passionately argued for the Chiefs to consider bringing Hill back for a workout, emphasizing the potential offensive benefits.

Wilson stated, "I'm going after Tyreek Hill right now if I'm the Chiefs. ... Think about the yards. If he's healthy, why would you not do it? ... Chiefs Kingdom would go crazy for it." He highlighted that the current Chiefs offense, which has developed a strong running game, would be even more dynamic with Hill on the roster.

In his analysis, Wilson noted:

  • The Chiefs possess explosive plays in both the pass and running game.
  • Hill's addition could elevate their already formidable offense even further.

Long, who played with Hill during the 2021 season, reflected on the chemistry between Hill and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, describing their "unspoken communication" as invaluable for the team. Hill had an impressive season in 2021, recording 111 receptions for 1,239 yards and nine touchdowns over 17 games.

Despite concerns regarding Hill's recovery from a severe leg injury, Long believes the wide receiver could still make a significant impact. He suggested a simplified role for Hill, stating, "If you're worried about the ins and outs cuts that Tyreek Hill can do with his newly reconstructed leg, how about you say, just go run straight down the field and force that safety to cover you, and it opens up so much of the middle of the field."

The discussion raises intriguing possibilities for the Chiefs as they navigate their current injury challenges.
