The Facts: The Chiefs got more than they had a right to expect last season from Hill, a fifth-round draft pick who played just one year of major college football. The Chiefs are expecting even more from him next season. "Growing Tyreek in the offense will be important," HC Andy Reid told reporters this week at the NFL meetings in Phoenix.

Diehards Line: Despite the lack of experience, Hill finished the season as the Chiefs’ runaway leader in touchdowns with 12 and was second on the team in pass receptions with 61. He played 401 offensive snaps last season, or less than 40 percent of Kansas City’s plays. But the Chiefs came to rely on him more as the season progressed. He was in their lineup for fewer than 20 plays in each of the first six games but more than 20 in the final 10. Hill was learning to become a receiver, a position he played only on a part-time basis in college. Of Hill’s 401 snaps, 207 came as a wide receiver, 163 as a slot receiver and 31 out of the backfield. Most of those backfield snaps came late in the season after the Chiefs lost Jamaal Charles to injury. The Chiefs needed Hill's speed, and he delivered two touchdown runs of at least 68 yards in the final three games. Reid indicated the Chiefs weren’t looking to increase Hill’s playing time as a running back. But expect his turns at wideout to rise.
