After retiring, athletes often go on to stay in their sport - maybe they coach, maybe they present or maybe they host a podcast about the games.
Or often, they go on to become stars of the screen as news or show hosts. But it’s not as common they go onto become stars of the screen in the world of porn.
Yet that’s what Tyreek Hill is hoping for.
Yep, the Miami Dolphins player has revealed his hopes to work in the adult film industry after he retires from playing football.

Hill plays as a wide receiver in the NFL and was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016.
In 2022, the 29-year-old was traded to the Miami team and signed a four-year $120 million extension, including a $72.2 million guaranteed. This made him the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL.
Joining Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Mike Evans on a recent Twitch stream, Hill discussed his future plans.
Evans reckons Hill will have a big career after football, with him saying: “When you retire, you’re gonna be all over the place. You’re gonna be on TV [and] everything.”
But Hill’s response probably wasn’t quite what Evans expected, as he confessed: “When I retire bro, I really wanna be a porn star though bro.
“Like dead serious. Like, you think I got that?”
A few moments of silence left Hill awkwardly asking ‘No?’ before Evans eventually said: “Nah, I mean, whatever you want bro. I don’t got an opinion on that.”
It’s not totally clear if Hill was just trying to throw his pal off concentration while they played video games, but he seemed pretty serious about turning to porn.
Hill has previously said he wants to retire after his contract with the Dolphins has ended at the end of the 2025 season.
During a media talk at training camp in July, Hill said his idea of retiring had come up after a long chat with his dad.
“He told me, ‘You can make all the money in the world, but what is it for if you’re not able to spend it? You don’t want to spend your whole life working. You want to be able to enjoy your life’,” Hill explained.
“That’s kind of what I’ve been doing. I’ve been traveling the world. I was able to go to three countries this offseason. I really enjoyed that.
"I don’t know, man. If I keep traveling the country like I’m doing, who knows, man. I’m enjoying life, having fun.”
