Tyreek Hill: Pre-game incident with police just went from 0 to 60

Tyreek Hill spoke out extensively on Monday about his detainment by Miami-Dade Police before Sunday’s Dolphins’ win over the Jaguars at Hard Rock Stadium.Hill was detained after being pulled over by police just outside the stadium and cited for careless driving and a seat belt violation, according to ESPN, before being released at the scene.In his first in-depth interview, he told NBC News that the situation “went from 0 to 60.” The interview was published online shortly before Miami-Dade Police released over 105 minutes of body camera footage connected to the incident. “It just went from 0 to 60, man, from the moment that those guys pulled up behind me, knocked on my window, it went from 0 to 60 immediately,” Hill told the outlet. Hill had expressed concern over what could have happened if he wasn’t a well-known football player and reiterated that during the sit-down with NBC News. “If I wasn’t Tyreek Hill, Lord knows, I probably would have been, like, worst-case scenario, I would have been shot or would have been locked up” and “put behind bars, you know, for a simple speeding ticket,” he said.“And that’s crazy that officers would take it, you know, to that level.”According to body camera footage from the scene, at least one officer was unaware of who they had pulled over and detained. “You know who that is?” one officer asked another seen in one part of the released footage. “That’s one of the Dolphins star players,” he said when the fellow cop replied, no. During the sit-down with NBC, Hill also said he was grateful that his wife, Keeta, was not in the car during the incident. She normally would have been traveling with him to the stadium. “I’m so relieved she wasn’t [there], because if they would have tried to pull my wife out the car, Lord knows what would [have] happened,” Hill said.

“I’m glad she wasn’t in the car.”Body cam footage released by police has provided a clearer picture of the chaot...
