The Kansas City Chiefs and their explosive offense is matched up against one of the best defenses in the league in Jacksonville this weekend.
Before the hyped up match-up, Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill said he was looking forward to lining up against Jags Pro Bowl corner Jalen Ramsey.

He think high of himself,” Hill said. “He’s all right, I guess. I can’t wait to line up against him. I hope he presses me.
“He’s a great player. To get my name out there more, I need to go up against more talent like him. I’m not calling [Denver’s] Chris Harris or nobody else bad, but he’s top dog right now, so I can’t wait.”
“It’s going to be fun,” Hill said. “This is by far the best defense we have faced. … We’ve got the best offense going against the best defense, the fastest offense against the fastest defense, so it’s going to be crazy, plays made everywhere.”
The always outspoken Ramsey saw Hill’s remarks and immediately fired back by refusing the acknowledge Hill’s accomplishments as a wide receiver.
Ramsey won't give Tyreek Hill his WR credit 😂

““I’m looking forward to playing the game. I’m looking forward to playing their offense, seeing our defense against their offense. I don’t like how whoever has made it a matchup—me against Tyreek. He’s good for what he does for their team. He made All-Pro, as a return specialist—let’s get that right—as a return specialist his rookie year. He went to two Pro Bowls as a return specialist. Return specialist. Two years. I made All-Pro in my position as a corner. Went to the Pro Bowl as a corner, so it’s not a wide receiver vs. corner matchup. So we can get out of the way off the bat. I feel like it was a strategic, smart move by him. He’s going to get some clout. He’s going to get the buzz going.”
The Internet is excited about this weekend’s Hill-Ramsey match-up.

He’s not wrong though. Hill has great speed and elusiveness, but when it comes to the other parts of being a receiver he’s average at best

What he said is true if he's discussing 2016 only. But last year he was one of the most efficient receivers and this year he has improved his route-running tremendously and has great hands. He can even high point the ball downfield. He hasn't watched KC if he thinks he's average

Imagine if Tyreek destroys him. Would be funny tbh.
