Now on his third NFL team in four seasons, veteran receiver Chase Claypool is busy trying to prove to the Miami Dolphins that he’s worth all the apparent trouble he caused in previous stops with Pittsburgh and Chicago.
According to Dolphins superstar Tyreek Hill, Claypool is seemingly succeeding in his latest mission at redemption. Though, I’m not quite sure what Hill means when he tries to endorse his new teammate. Stay with me here.
On Thursday, after Dolphins practice, Hill likened Claypool to a “vending machine.” Uh, OK? I’m positive Hill meant this as a compliment, but … what could that possibly mean? Is it because he’s a large human being at a listed 6-foot-4, 238 pounds? I mean, I guess, but surely there are better ways to describe large people in a complementary way.
I, for one, would’ve perhaps chosen a superhero or a giant tank, for example. But that’s just me.

After catching under 200 yards in his time with the Bears — and failing to produce much of anything of note since his rookie season with the Steelers in 2020 — Claypool’s got a lot of ground to make up in Miami. At the very least, he seems to be winning some of his Dolphins teammates over, even though I’m not quite sure if they know how to describe him properly.

To be fair, vending machines do get paid to drop things. I can see the comparison. https://t.co/FuPgHi6QUg

He eats money and doesn’t dispense what you paid for? https://t.co/G2tR4wd0o0

From his tape, I would agree.
Runs routes like a vending machine.
Blocks like a vending machine. https://t.co/g6gTId5v2S— Sam Monson (@PFF_Sam) October 12, 2023
Seems like a good idea when you make the decision but after it happens leaves you feeling nothing but regret and disappointment? https://t.co/cnl92SuV41

That checks out.
Give him your money and you may or may not get something in return. https://t.co/sUXqasnT66 pic.twitter.com/oxyqjnmeQ0— Matt Zahn (@mattzahnsports) October 12, 2023

You give him money and he drops the goods? https://t.co/2dwSPBrU7K

Takes money and gives out nothing good? https://t.co/8sg8Q57BaO

Only used in desperate times and always disappointed after having to use one? https://t.co/UkQkWzgrD5

Because he keeps spitting out Butterfingers? https://t.co/lZGX92AwYw

Because he was just standing around handing out snacks after people paid him? https://t.co/RsJSHGQLiF
