NFL execs and scouts rank Dolphins' Tyreek Hill top 3 WR shortly after Randy Moss' major shot

The Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel faces immense pressure entering the 2025 season, with CBS Sports listing him among NFL coaches with the hottest seats. After his first losing season and missing the playoffs, coupled with the front office trading away a key offensive weapon, McDaniel's job security is in serious jeopardy, and the path to saving it is seen as increasingly difficult.

Wide receiver Tyreek Hill's status as an all-time great was challenged by Randy Moss, who stated Hill is "nowhere all-time" but ranks him among the current top five receivers. Despite some viewing 2024 as a "down year" for Hill, NFL scouts still rank him among the league's top three wide receivers.

Scouts acknowledge Hill might have lost "a half-step" but emphasize he remains more explosive than others due to his power and raw speed. They note defenses have adjusted to limit the big plays in Miami's offense. Both an AFC scout and an NFC executive stressed that Hill's elite speed continues to dictate defensive preparations and significantly impacts how opponents game plan against the Dolphins, with the executive asserting his speed hasn't diminished.

Hill enters the 2025 season with a different mindset and is ranked No. 3 among receivers. His performance, and the offense's success, are expected to be heavily influenced by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's health. The upcoming season is viewed as potentially massive for Hill and as a make-or-break year for the Dolphins organization overall.
