Rivalries in the NFL are one of the best parts of the game.
One rivalry that has developed over the year is between cornerback Eli Apple and wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
These two met multiple times when Apple was with the Cincinnati Bengals and Hill was with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Now these two will have to put their rivalries aside as they have become teammates.
The Dolphins signed Apple a few weeks back and Hill is excited to go toe to toe with him in practice.
In a video shown via Dov Kleiman, Hill got the better of Apple during their matchup in practice.

Hill is one of the best wide receivers in the league and usually gets the better of most cornerbacks.
But you can tell by Hill’s reaction it meant a little more to him beating Apple.
The Dolphins are expected to be playoff contenders again in 2023.
Last year they lost to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round even though quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was unable to play.
A key for Miami this season will be if Tua can stay healthy.
He suffered two concussions last year and that is cause for concern heading into this season.
But the Dolphins can compete in the AFC will a fully healthy roster.
As for the defense, Apple will most likely not play a large role.
With the injury to Jalen Ramsey though, others will have to step up until he can return.
This team is explosive and will be fun to watch this season.
