Wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been an electrifying player since he entered the league as member of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016. In his first couple of seasons Hill was mostly known as a return specialist, and in his rookie season he scored three touchdowns on punt and kickoff returns. However, in the 2016 Divisional Round playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Steelers were determined not to let him beat them.

One way they did this was by hitting him hard on kickoff returns. Late in the first quarter Hill returned a kickoff, but Steelers linebacker Vince Williams laid a vicious hit on him as he was running at his top speed downhill on kickoff coverage.
