Tyreek Hill, the Miami Dolphins wide receiver who was recently crowned the top player in the NFL Top 100 by his peers, is back in the spotlight on social media.
This time, it’s not for one of the former Oklahoma State and West Alabama receiver’s electrifying plays on the NFL gridiron, but for a tweet that has both football fans and gamers buzzing — especially those who have been diving into EA Sports College Football 25.
Hill’s tweet perfectly captures a moment of relatable frustration that has everyone nodding in agreement.
Did Tyreek Hill Give EA Sports CFB 25 the Stamp of Approval?
In the New York Giants vs. Detroit Lions preseason game on Thursday (Aug. 8) evening, things got interesting toward the end of the first half. Lions quarterback Nate Sudfield tossed a pick right into the hands of Giants’ cornerback and former Vanderbilt Commodore Tre Herndon.
But just when it looked like the Giants were putting themselves in good field position to put points on the board before the half, Lions offensive guard Kayode Awosika, a former Buffalo Bull, delivered a hit that knocked the ball loose, allowing the Lions to recover.
Hill, clearly finding some humor in the situation, quote-tweeted the highlight and commented, “This how the lineman make me fumble on ncaa so it is real.”

The tweet is a playful nod to how realistic and sometimes maddening EA Sports College Football 25 can be. If anyone was wondering if the game’s realism holds up, Hill’s tweet is like the unofficial (or maybe official?) stamp of approval on one of the most-anticipated sports games of the year, which was finally released in July after a hiatus of nearly a decade.
Hill’s light-hearted endorsement of the game only adds fuel to the fire of what’s already a burning hot title. With millions of followers on social media, Hill’s influence is significant, and his tweet is bound to keep the game’s momentum rolling.
At the time of publishing, Hill’s tweet had more than 30,000 impressions, and several people had posted laughing emojis in the comments. His tweet has surely hit home for a lot of gamers who’ve had those “are you serious?” moments, making it an incredibly relatable tweet.
In the end, Hill’s tweet is more than just a funny moment on social media — it’s a testament to the game’s quality and the immersive experience it offers. If it’s real enough to make one of the NFL’s best players fumble, it’s definitely going to keep everyone else on their toes!
