Tyreek Hill's intense training of son raises eyebrows amid history of domestic violence claims
Tyreek Hill, amidst personal challenges including a recent divorce filing, is emphasizing hard work and dedication to his son Zev (Imagn Images) Miami Dolphins' Tyreek Hill, famously dubbed 'Cheetah' for his unmatched speed, is showing fans that his impact goes far beyond touchdowns and highlight reels. In a deeply personal and emotionally charged moment, Hill took to Instagram ahead of his son Zev's track meet, delivering not just support, but a clear, powerful life lesson that spoke volumes about his evolving identity—as a father, a mentor, and a man determined to break cycles. Tyreek Hill pushes son to greatness while battling personal turmoil with powerful life message Tyreek Hill's intense training session with his young son has ignited a firestorm, as fans question his parenting approach amid a storm of past abuse allegations and a fresh divorce battle. 'This is what it's all about. Big Day tomorrow. Race Day, for my lil boy,' Hill wrote. In a world where celebrity fatherhood is often curated for likes, Hill didn't shy away from showing the tougher side of parenting. 'Gotta be hard on my son this week... We don't expect nothing but greatness in the Hill family.' The training video that followed wasn't just a motivational snippet—it was a window into a philosophy born from hardship. Hill's childhood was marked by challenges and strict parenting. Now, despite his fame and wealth, he is choosing to replicate the demanding but purpose-driven style of his own upbringing. 'You want success? You gotta work hard for it,' he told Zev. 'It may not be for the sports world... Lawyer, Doctor, Teacher. You gotta work hard, you gotta embrace it. Or a football coach.' Zev's reply? 'I wanna be a football coach.' Hill's delighted response: 'There you go... You gotta tell your players to work hard. You gotta push them.' Trying to turn pain into purpose in the midst of personal challenges What makes this moment particularly poignant is the backdrop. Hill's personal life is currently under intense scrutiny. In April, his wife Keeta Vaccaro filed for divorce following a reported domestic dispute. Though no arrests were made and details remain sealed, it added to a history of controversies surrounding Hill. But rather than retreat or spiral, Hill appears committed to showing up for his kids. He shares twins and Zev with his ex-fiancée Crystal Espinal, and a daughter, Capri, with Keeta. His message, even amid chaos, is consistent: resilience, hard work, and emotional investment in the next generation.

MIAMI GARDENS -- Zach Sieler, the Miami Dolphins' reigning MVP, attended the first day of mandatory minicamp but did not participate in team 11-on-11 drills. Sieler has two years left on a three-year, $30.75 million contract. He did not attend voluntary OTAs.

Healthy returns form Dolphins' pass-rushing trio entering 2025
Healthy returns form Dolphins' pass-rushing trio entering 2025 One of the standout side stories in the Miami Dolphins' offseason program from this past week's minicamp is the trio of pass rushers Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips, and Chop Robinson. Heading into 2025, Phillips is ready to go after injuries in each of the past two seasons. Last year was also a full season of rehab for Chubb following a Week 17 knee injury in 2023. Chubb and Phillips were a terrific tandem in their eight games together in 2023. Phillips was on his way to a career season and on a five-game sack streak in which he totaled six in that span leading into Week 13. Chubb finished the 2023 campaign with 11 sacks prior to his late-season injury. The veteran had a four-game sack streak to his credit as well as a three-sack performance in Week 15 against the New York Jets during that 2023 season. Ironically, that was the same Jets team that Phillips suffered his Achillies injury against a few weeks earlier. Through their injuries, Chubb and Phillips motivated each other in their rehabilitations. 'I think we both played a big role for each other, just in the sense of being there for each other during these times. Obviously, he's someone whose dealt with several injuries in the past, but ACL specific questions, I do ask him a lot because he's done three ACLs. I ask him about different things and he'll kind of give me feedback and tell me how I'm looking and stuff. Same thing, it's like some good reassurance that I'm in a good place," Phillips said. The duo now combines with a second-year, star in the making. Of course, Robinson hasn't yet played with Chubb, and he played just four games with Phillips last season. The 2024 first-round selection out of Penn State was developing in the first half of the season and didn't start rolling until around Week 9 when he registered his first career sack against the Buffalo Bills. As a solo artist without a true bookend as his teammates were recovering, Robinson finished the season as one of the best young pass-rushers in the NFL, totaling six sacks to rank second among 2024 rookies. However, he had veteran tutelage from Chubb. 'I was just his eyes off the field. Whatever I saw on the sideline, whatever I saw on the film, we'd sit down and watch it together. Not even just his film, we would watch just random d-ends from around the league and just see how they approach the game, how they play, because I feel like that helped me early in my career, just seeing how other people played the game, how they played certain blocks and stuff like that. "So I just kind of went through stuff like that with him, and then during game days, just told him what I saw on the sideline compared to what he saw on the field and kind of just collaborated our mindsets throughout that part and tried to help him play as fast as possible without really thinking," Chubb said. Robinson now morphs that Chubb-Phillips tandem into a trio. And, with all three locked and loaded heading into training camp, there is incredible potential for the Dolphins' pass-rush. Phillips is certainly excited. "We've been talking about it since Chop got here, for real. But it'll be cool to actually get to do it. Also just another year under the belt for our defense under 'Weave,' getting the plays together. "Chop has been having a hell of a OTAs. His improvement from last year to this year is like so noticeable, it's insane. Especially if you really know the nitty gritty of it, so I'm really proud of Chop, really excited to see how he's going to keep progressing," Phillips said. Perhaps Chubb put it best when meeting with Miami media on Wednesday. 'It's been dope, because those two guys, they put their head down and work and get to it. They don't take a play off, they don't take a rep off. When you've got guys like that that push you constantly, you can only go up," Chubb said. "You can only get better from that, so just having those two around knowing what they can do on the field and seeing how they put the work in to get to that point, too, is amazing.'

Tyreek Hill's estranged wife Keeta Vaccaro shares a wholesome life update amid ongoing divorce drama
Keeta Vaccaro filed for divorce in April 2025.(Image via) Tyreek Hill is gearing up for the upcoming season of the NFL but his situation with his estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro, remains complicated and private. Neither Tyreek Hill nor Keeta Vaccaro have issued any statements about their marriage being in trouble but as per reports, Vaccaro had filed for divorce from the NFL star in April. While the two remain private, Keeta Vaccaro recently shared an update about her life. Tyreek Hill's estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro, shares a 'summer' update about her life while the NFL star keeps himself away from his family A few hours ago, Tyreek Hill's estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro, took to her Instagram to share a heartfelt post about her life. The famous entrepreneur posted a video on her social media where she is taking a dip in the pool with her newborn. Tyreek Hill's estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro, looked stunning in a blue bikini as she enjoyed her day in the pool while their daughter, Capri Hill, was seen relaxing on a pink floater. The video shows Keeta Vaccaro cuddling with their daughter as the caption for the video reads as, 'Summer activities🌸 with my favorite girl @capri_hill'. However, the video has no mention of the Miami Dolphins' star player, Tyreek Hill. Tyreek Hill, one of the most popular and talented players in the NFL, has maintained a pretty low profile ever since it was reported that Keeta Vaccaro filed for divorce. Tyreek Hill has had multiple children with different partners before he married Keeta Vaccaro While the NFL star had a pretty controversial past and has multiple children with different women, his relationship and marriage with Keeta Vaccaro remained mostly drama free until April, when there were reports of a 'domestic dispute' at their place. This was followed by Keeta Vaccaro filing for divorce and filing a legal motion where she accused Tyreek Hill of 'neglecting' their daughter when he took her away from her. The legal motion says, 'The Husband returned to the home and announced that he was taking the baby, over the objections of the Wife who had invited him to spend time with the baby.' It further added, 'The Husband has never taken care of the baby, never bathed her, never changed a diaper, never dressed her and never put her to bed.' Tyreek Hill and Keeta Vaccaro tied the knot in November 2023.

Miami Dolphins' RB Jaylen Wright adds muscle, trims fat
MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright seemed trim and fit as a rookie. But he felt he could be better. "Working hard in offseason, working on my body," Wright said during organized team activities. "I probably added about probably six pounds. I lost a lot of body fat. I gained a lot of muscle. That's why it might look like I'm a little bigger." Advertisement Consider that Wright has covered a 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds at 210 pounds. That's a pretty unique combination of size and speed. For Wright, the pathway to more touches in his second season is actually more mental than physical. There were lessons learned as a fourth-round rookie from Tennessee. "I just learned just the league," Wright said. "I mean, just getting the speed of the game, just controlling, you know, controlling what I can control out there on the field, you know, just making the best of my opportunities. I mean, I learned a lot from the guys in front of me." Jaylen Wright poised for Year 2 Miami Dolphins breakout Wright cited Raheem Mostert, De'Von Achane and Jeff Wilson as influencers. Advertisement Wright had 68 carries on the season, but only nine over the last five weeks of the season. "When we had exit meetings, I was talking to Jaylen Wright about being able to non-verbally communicate to me his hunger for an increased role," Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said. "I see better than I hear, and four OTAs in, I can see him following through with that." Oct 6, 2024; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (25) runs the ball during the second half against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Paul Rutherford-Imagn Images Most talented rookie running backs struggle more with executing assignments consistently than any other areas of growth. With Mostert in Las Vegas and Wilson not re-signed, the opportunity for more is present in 2025. With that in mind, Wright had an interesting perspective on thoughts he'd provide to rookie Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II. Advertisement "Oh, it's a process," Wright said. "Just as a rookie, it's not going to come when you want it to come. I mean, it may. It's just a process, you know, just staying patient. It's a long season. I mean, I'm speaking for what I've experienced. It's a long season, and, you know, take care of your body, you know, because you never know when the opportunity is going to come."
