Tyreek Hill confirms suspicion regarding the basis of his recent controversial top five quarterback list

Tyreek Hill loves to stir the pot and put out controversial takes .  There's little doubt that the Miami Dolphins' superstar enjoys engaging with fans and other athletes on social media to generate a buzz.

That's exactly what he did earlier this week when a video surfaced of him responding to a question about who his top five quarterbacks in the league are .  His picks?  Patrick Mahomes, Tua Tagovailoa, Lamar Jackson, Dak Prescott, and Baker Mayfield.

Hill was a guest recently on NFL Live on ESPN, and he explained to host Laura Rutledge that he gave out his list with the intention of trolling everyone.

"Top two are a stick, we all know that, Patrick and Tua are the top two quarterbacks in the NFL," Hill said.  "You've got Josh Allen, you've got Joe Burrow.  You've got a lot of great guys.  But I feel like people have got to understand who I am as a person.  I'm a troll.  If you go to my Twitter bio, it says 'I enjoy starting stuff and then leaving'.  So, I started a whole uproar and then I left."

As to whether he left out Allen and Aaron Rodgers as division rivals on purpose, it's pretty clear that was part of his bit - at least for the former.

"Nah, look, like I said, I just love trolling people and making people mad, that's it.  I knew all the Bills fans were going to say, 'yeah, you know Josh Allen owns you.' So that's just the fun part of it, just getting people riled up."

Hey, that's just who Hill is.  A lightning rod of controversy who likes to have fun and doesn't really care what other people think about him or who he irritates along the way.  In fact, the more irritated fans he provokes, the more it seems to make him happy.

We'll see if Hill and the rest of his teammates can - finally - leave the Bills fans mad because of the results on the field this fall, as the Dolphins look to claim their first division crown since 2008.
