Miami-Dade Police Department police detained All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill, before Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Social media videos showed Hill handcuffed and surrounded by police officers. Other photographs depict Hill on the sidewalk, with the stadium in the background. Hill was wearing gray sweatpants and a white tank top.

Here is the video that shows the incident:

Drew Rosenhaus, Hill’s agent, informed ESPN that the prominent NFL player was arrested by police for an alleged traffic violation.

“I just left Tyreek and he is getting ready to play today,” Rosenhaus.

Hill claimed he was pulled over for allegedly speeding while driving to Hard Rock Stadium, about three hours before the game began. According to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington, he was eventually handcuffed following a “verbal altercation”. Sources tell Darlington that Hill was cited for careless driving.

He was released after a few minutes, but the incident was videotaped by adjacent fans and soon spread on social media. Hill stated that he had no idea why the event had escalated the way it did.

“Right now, I’m still trying to put it all together … I still don’t know what happened. But I do want to use this platform to say, ‘What if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill?’ Worst-case scenario, you know? Lord knows what those guys would have done. I just wanted to make sure I was doing what my uncle always told me to do whenever you’re in a situation like that — put your hands on the steering wheel and just listen.”

The five-time All-Pro is hoping to build on a successful 2024 season. Throughout most of last season, he received MVP recognition. He concluded the season with 119 catches for 1,799 yards and 13 touchdown grabs. He topped the league in receiving yards and touchdown receptions.

Hill will be in his third season with the Dolphins, but the team is still hunting for that elusive postseason win.

Tyreek Hill Detained: Police Officer Put on Administrative Leave

Following the arrest of Miami Dolphins player Tyreek Hill prior to the commencement of the season-opening game, the Miami-Dade Police Department placed an officer on administrative duty.

Hill was briefly held by police after a traffic incident on Sunday morning, just hours before kickoff, according to the team’s social media. Hill’s agent stated that the wide receiver was ticketed for a minor violation, and it’s unclear why the incident escalated.

Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) Director Stephanie V. Daniels announced Sunday that an investigation into the event has begun, and one of the officers involved has been assigned administrative duties. A second Dolphins player claimed he was also handcuffed while attempting to explain the situation with cops on the scene.

Hill will not soon forget the beginning of the 2024-25 season. His day culminated with a comeback win against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which included a “handcuffs” celebration after scoring a vital touchdown.

After the game, the “Cheetah” admitted that his pregame contact with cops had left him perplexed.

Hill demonstrated his customary speed by finding the end zone in the third quarter against the Jaguars, connecting with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for an 80-yard touchdown. After scoring, Hill celebrated by putting his arms behind his back and his wrists clasped, maybe a reference to being handcuffed earlier that day.
