INDIANAPOLIS — It’s impossible not to connect the Chargers withwide receiver Tyreek Hill.
First, the club has a serious need for the type of speed Hill brings to the football field. When healthy, he’s one of only a handful of players capable of single-handedly changing a game.
Secondly, they just hired his former head coach, Mike McDaniel,as their new offensive coordinator. Hill and McDaniel did some spectacular things together in Miami, including back-to-back seasons of 119 receptions and more than 1,700 receiving yards. Both were career highs.
It goes without saying that no one other than maybe Andy Reid knows Hill better than McDaniel, and vice versa.
The most important part of all? Hill is available.
Remember, the Dolphinsreleased Hill in a salary dump two weeks ago, meaning he doesn’t have to wait until the new league year to sign with a new team.
Yes, he’s coming off a serious knee injury he suffered against the Jets in late September last year, putting his start to next season in question. But it makes sense for the Chargers to get him in their building as soon as possible, perhaps on a one-year prove-it deal that allows him to re-enter the market next season, to monitor his ongoing rehab and get him ready to pounce as soon as he is cleared to play.
Can you imagine a healthy Hill pairing up with Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, alongside wide receiver Ladd McConkey and young tight end Oronde Gadsden?
In an offense coordinated by McDaniel, one of the most innovative minds in all of football?
It makes all the sense in the world.
