Tyreek Hill hit everyone intrigued about the idea of a post-NFL career in the adult film industry with a “just kidding.”
The star Dolphins wideout was doing a video game livestream with his counterpart on the Bucs, Mike Evans, earlier this week when he broached the idea.
“When I retire, bro, I really want to be a porn star, bro. Dead serious,” Hill said. “You think I got that?”
Hill was asked about the quip by reporters on Wednesday and did an about-face.
“A lot of my teammates are hating on me right now,” Hill said.
“But I was joking. I was definitely joking. That’s something that I don’t want to do. I was just joking.”
Hill, who might well be the best wide receiver in the NFL today, has previously spoken openly about the possibility of retiring from football when his contract expires following the 2025 season.
“I really want to get into the gaming space,” Hill said in July, noting that he was shooting for 10 seasons in the league, to match the number on his jersey.
“I really want to get huge in that and that’s kind of what I’m doing right now. I’m using my platform to create a gaming team, which isn’t launched yet. It should launch by the end of this month. I’m going to just sign different content creators, different athletes. I just been working that, talking to different sponsors.
“I want to do so many things in my life.”
Hill ultimately walked back those remarks.
So far this season, Hill is leading the league with four receiving touchdowns, and his 412 receiving yards are second to Justin Jefferson’s 458.
