Tyreek Hill teases potential Olympic reunion with Patrick Mahomes | KC Kingdom
In a post on X, Hill shared an emoji implying he wants to suit up for the Olympics in 2028. He’s already 31 years old and will be 34 during the Olympics, so it’s unclear whether the team would even want him, though his interest is clear.
Mahomes is, without question, the country’s top choice to play quarterback during the games. The opportunity to win a gold medal and represent the States on the largest scale is once in a lifetime, so if Mahomes wants to participate, there’s little question that he’d be the leader of the team.
If that happens, then Mahomes and Hill could be paired up once again. The duo lit the NFL on fire when Mahomes burst onto the scene, and Hill was a Pro Bowler all six years that he spent with the Kansas City Chiefs. Reunion rumors have long circulated, yet this is the best chance of it actually coming to fruition.
There’s a lot that can happen between now and 2028. Who knows, maybe Hill will even be back in a Chiefs jersey by then. Regardless, it seems fans might one day actually get to see Mahomes and Hill work together one again.

According to ESPN, the initial vote on the proposal earlier this offseason was deadlocked at 16-16, forcing the matter to be tabled until the spring meeting before the Eagles won out.
The Packers even debuted a revised version of the proposal aimed to eliminate all forms of assistance to the ball carrier, not just at the line of scrimmage, in a bid to win the extra votes.
History says Chiefs will thrive in Week 1 | Sports Illustrated
While the NFL has a long, grueling 18 weeks of competition, starting your season off on the right foot is what every franchise wants. For Kansas City, nabbing a win overseas against a threat to the divisional crown could bode well in the long run.
The Chiefs haven’t become dominant overnight. Even before quarterback Patrick Mahomes took over as the starting quarterback for the franchise, the Chiefs had fared well in Week 1...
