Star wide receiver Tyreek Hill’s 2025 NFL season was cut short after suffering a catastrophic knee injury in Week 4, and while his football future remains unclear, he’s already making headlines for a surprising new venture.
The Miami Dolphins’ play-maker announced he’s launching a career as a DJ — signaling a major pivot away from the field and into the music booth while he rehabs.

Hill dislocated his left knee and tore multiple ligaments during Miami’s matchup with the New York Jets, forcing a season-ending surgery. In the aftermath, he revealed on a podcast that he’s “happy with the career” he’s had and will consult with his family before deciding whether to continue playing.
The Pivot to a New Profession
While his recovery is ongoing, Hill has embraced a new identity — telling fans on social media:
“Coming to play house music near you.” PFSN+1
Reports say he was overheard discussing DJing at a dinner, and he’s already fielding event-booking inquiries despite his rehab. PFSN+1

What This Means for Football
Hill still has one year left on his contract with the Dolphins, and no official retirement decision has been made. But the fact that he’s publicly exploring new professional avenues signals he’s prepared for life beyond football. Newsweek
From a career standpoint, this could reshape how teams view athletes with serious injuries — especially those who already hold elite resumes and may opt to shift gears early. For Hill, his speed, explosiveness and 11,000+ receiving yards built his legacy; now he’s adding “creator” to his résumé.
