According to the team, he was cited for reckless driving and driving without a license. Hill’s agent later confirmed those details.
In a postgame interview, he mentioned that everybody has bad apples in every situation, so he plans to use his platform to figure out a way to flip this and make it positive on both ends.
He went on to express his respect for law enforcement, saying he still hopes to become a police officer one day. However, Hill also mentioned that he doesn’t know why he was handcuffed in the first place.
The Miami-Dade Police Department is now conducting a review of the body camera footage from the incident. Police Director Stephanie Daniels posted on X, stating her commitment to transparency and accountability.
Hill wasn’t the only player caught up in the situation. Defensive tackle Calais Campbell tried to intervene. Campbell said he was handcuffed as well, but didn’t let the situation affect his focus.
The Dolphins went on to defeat the Jaguars, winning 20-17. After an 80-yard touchdown, Hill made a statement of his own by celebrating in the endzone pretending to be handcuffed.
