Dolphins' Tyreek Hill mocks police arrest as he celebrates touchdown


Tyreek Hill let his play do the talking on Sunday after he was detained by police hours before the Miami Dolphins earned their first win of the 2024 season over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Hill had seven receptions for 130 yards and an 80-yard touchdown reception on a pass from Tua Tagovailoa.

After the touchdown, he celebrated in amazement alongside teammate Jaylen Waddle.

The star receiver put his hands behind his back as if he were handcuffed. Waddle walked over to him and “unhooked” imaginary handcuffs.

Miami won the game 20-17 over Jacksonville after Jason Sanders scored a game-winning 52-yard field goal.

Hill's teammate Calais Campbell told ESPN that he was also placed in handcuffs as he said he was trying to “deescalate” the situation.

Miami-Dade Police assigned one of the officers involved in Hill's arrest to “administrative duties” hours after the incident.

“That should tell you everything you need to know,” Hill said, via NFL Network.

He told CBS Sports he wouldn't comment directly on the situation and would try to let “bygones be bygones,” but thanked his teammates for trying to help him through the situation.

“I loved that. I was so pumped, man… It just shows that, man, it's more than football, man, the brotherhood that we have outside of football is unbelievable,” he said. “Those guys really put their lives on the line for me. Shout out to (Jonnu Smith). Shout out to (Calais Campbell). Shout out to Drew Brooks. Shout out to everybody, man. Shout out to my mom, too.”
