NFL Fans Criticize Tyreek Hill for Admitting He Prefers Playing Madden Over Studying Opponent Film (VIDEO)
Tyreek Hill, the star wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, has an unusual way of preparing for NFL games, and it's garnering attention online.
Instead of studying film on his opponents, Hill revealed to reporters on Thursday that he relies on the popular video game "Madden NFL" to get a sense of his adversaries' strengths and weaknesses. The night before a game, he checks out a player's ratings and skill breakdown in the game.
"I go to the EA rosters, then I scroll down and see what their awareness is, their speed, and their strength, and that's how I get a good tell on them," Hill explained.
"I feel like Madden has a good tell of how good players are," he continued. "I just play Madden the night before and I go look at all their ratings. Let's say, for instance, they have Steven Nelson and Derek Stingley Jr. [of the Texans] over there. Two phenomenal players by the way. I just get on Madden, I go to the EA rosters, and then I scroll down to see what their awareness is, their speed is, and their strength, and that's how I get a good tell on them."
It's an unconventional approach that has certainly raised eyebrows, but if it works for Hill, then who's to argue?
