Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was detained by police for speeding and reckless driving on the morning of the team’s season opener. Hill was handcuffed and placed face down on the street near Hard Rock Stadium, an incident that was captured by fans and went viral. An officer involved in the detention was later placed on administrative leave, prompting an internal investigation by Miami-Dade Police. Hill expressed confusion about the situation, stating he was respectful throughout the encounter and followed advice from his family on how to behave during police stops. His teammate, defensive tackle Calais Campbell, was also briefly detained after attempting to de-escalate the situation. Despite the incident, Hill excelled in the game, scoring a key touchdown in Miami’s 20-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hill and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, have expressed concerns over the handling of the situation, while the NFL remains in contact with the Dolphins regarding the matter.
