context_page_description: Tyreek Hill is an American football wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League. He attended Garden City Community College, Oklahoma State University, and University of West Alabama.
  Hill was primarily a return specialist as a rookie but subsequently transitioned to wide receiver. Following his rookie year, he received the nickname "Cheetah" in reference to his speed. He was named to the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team as a punt returner.
context_section_description: On April 26, 2019, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach announced that Hill was suspended from team activities as a result of the ongoing child abuse investigation. The NFL announced on July 19 that he will not be disciplined for the investigation because the league felt he did not violate the personal conduct policy. On September 6, 2019, Hill signed a three-year, $54 million extension.
  In the season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Hill injured his shoulder. He was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Later in the day, it was revealed he had a posteriorly dislocated sternoclavicular joint and would “miss some time”. Hill made his return from injury during Week 6 against the Houston Texans. In the game, he caught five passes for 80 yards and two touchdowns in the 31-24 loss. In the next game against the Denver Broncos, Hill finished with 74 receiving yards, including a 57-yard touchdown as the Chiefs won on the road by a score of 30-6. Six days later, he was fined $10,527 for flashing his signature peace sign as he jogged in for the touchdown in the previous game. During Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings, Hill caught six passes for 140 yards and a touchdown in a narrow 26–23 victory. This was Hill's first game of the season with at least 100 receiving yards. In the next game against the Tennessee Titans, Hill finished with 11 catches for 157 yards and a touchdown as the Chiefs lost on the road by a score of 32–35. Overall, Hill finished the 2019 season with 58 receptions for 860 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns.
  The Chiefs finished with a 12–4 record, won the AFC West, and earned a first-round bye. In the Divisional Round against the Houston Texans, he had three receptions for 41 receiving yards in the 51–31 victory. In the AFC Championship Game against the Titans, Hill caught five passes for 67 yards and two touchdowns during the 35–24 win. Two weeks later in Super Bowl LIV against the San Francisco 49ers, Hill caught nine passes for 105 yards, including a 44-yard catch on 3rd and 15 that sparked the Chiefs comeback enroute to the 31–20 victory.
