Star Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill was detained by police Sunday morning entering the team’s stadium for its NFL Week 1 opener against the Jaguars due to a driving violation, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told multiple reporters.
ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reports Hill was cited for reckless driving after speeding and got into a verbal altercation with police after being pulled over. He was released after being cited.
“It’s very upsetting … to see the way he was treated,” Rosenhaus said during a television interview with NFL Network inside the stadium after the incident.
“It’s unnecessary. there’s no reason Tyreek should’ve been treated that way.”
Rosenhaus called the situation “absurd” and said Hill felt like things “got way out of hand,” adding they’d be talking to legal representation.

“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,” the Dolphins said in a statement. “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.”
