Hill was one of the NFL’s best wide receivers last season and is arguably the fastest player in the league.
During his altercation with police, Hill was pinned and handcuffed to the ground after a traffic stop where the wide receiver was allegedly speeding in his sports car.
Hill mimicked the police incident after the score by holding his hands behind his back as if he was arrested.
Fellow Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle comes behind Hill and grabs his wrists, imitating the police officers who pinned him to the ground.
Hill, who still lined up for the Dolphins in their season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, even appeared to be struck by an officer unprovoked in a shocking video after being cuffed on the sidewalk just one block away from the stadium.
While driving to the game, the 30-year-old was ordered to pull over around one block away from Hard Rock after being cited for ‘reckless driving’, according to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington.
Hill was then seen being detained on the ground and led away in cuffs following a reported alleged altercation with an officer, before cops released him shortly after. Several of his Miami teammates are said to have pulled over to help deescalate the situation.
After the ordeal, he made his way to Hard Rock Stadium as planned and started the game for Miami as expected.
In a statement given to DailyMail.com, Miami Dade Police Department confirmed they will review all of the details surrounding Hill’s detainment, including bodycam footage of the incident.
Director Stephanie V. Daniels said: ‘We are aware of the recent detainment of Miami Dolphins player Tyreek Hill by Miami-Dade Police Department officers. I have requested an immediate review of all details surrounding the incident, and we are also reviewing available body camera footage.
‘We will provide updates as further information becomes available.’
The Dolphin’s statement read: ‘This morning, WR Tyreek Hill was pulled over for a traffic incident about one block from the stadium and briefly detained by police. He has since been released.
‘Several teammates saw the incident and stopped to offer support.
‘Tyreek and all other players involved have safely arrived to the stadium and will be available for today’s game.’
Despite his client being released, Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has described the incident as a ‘heartbreaking situation’ which was ‘completely unnecessary’ and suggested they will take action.
