In September 2024, Tyreek Hill was briefly detained by Miami-Dade police before the Miami Dolphins’ season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The incident occurred due to a traffic stop where Hill was reportedly uncooperative, leading officers to handcuff him. A viral video of the incident showed Hill on the ground in handcuffs. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, later criticized the treatment as “unnecessary” and “heartbreaking.”
Following this, the officer involved was placed on administrative leave, and an internal investigation is underway. Despite the incident, Hill played in the game, recording an impressive 130 receiving yards and an 80-yard touchdown.
During a September 2024 game, Tyreek Hill celebrated an 80-yard touchdown with a unique “handcuff” gesture. The celebration referenced his earlier detainment by Miami-Dade police, where he was briefly handcuffed following a traffic stop near the stadium. After scoring, Hill mimicked being handcuffed, with teammate Jaylen Waddle playfully acting as the “officer” cuffing him. This playful moment followed a tense incident but showcased Hill’s ability to turn a challenging situation into a memorable celebration during the Dolphins’ season opener.
