On his way to the game, Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill was detained in cuffs near Hard Rock Stadium and accused of reckless driving. Hill was released in time to lead a comeback to beat the Jaguars. NBC’s Kaylee Hartung reports for TODAY.
MIAMI — Tyreek Hill believes that if he weren't a famous football player, officers may have shot or arrested him during a police confrontation that 'went from 0 to 60,' the Dolphins star said Monday. The wide receiver was driving to the Dolphins-Jacksonville Jaguars game on Sunday when Miami-Dade police stopped him just outside Hard Rock Stadium, handcuffed him and put him face down on the pavement.
Hill, 30, thanked teammates — tight end Jonnu Smith and defensive lineman Calais Campbell — who were driving by, saw him being detained and stopped to help. Hill said he was particularly upset that Campbell was handcuffed even though his teammate was standing off to the side. The highly respected 38-year-old Campbell is a former Walter Payton Man of the Year winner. 'When I saw Jonnu and Calais pull up ... I didn't feel alone anymore,' Hill said.
