Hours after Tyreek Hill was detained by police outside Hard Rock Stadium before the Dolphins’ game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, he scored an 80-yard touchdown run showing off his blistering speed.
Hill was one of the best wide receivers in the NFL last season and is arguably the fastest player in the league.
During his altercation with police, Hill was restrained and handcuffed to the ground after a traffic stop where the wide receiver was allegedly speeding in his sports car.
Hill mimicked the police incident after the score, holding his hands behind his back as if he had been arrested.
Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle approaches Hill and grabs his wrists, mimicking the police officers who pinned him to the ground.

Hill, who was still in the Dolphins’ lineup for their season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, even appeared to be punched by an officer without provocation in a shocking video after being handcuffed on the sidewalk just a block from the stadium.
While driving to the game, the 30-year-old man was ordered to stop a block from Hard Rock after being cited for “reckless driving,” according to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington.
Hill was then seen being detained on the ground and led away in handcuffs following an alleged altercation with an officer, before being released by police shortly after. Several of his Miami teammates are said to have stopped by to help calm the situation.
After the ordeal, he headed to Hard Rock Stadium as planned and started the game for Miami as expected.
In a statement provided to DailyMail.com, the Miami Dade Police Department confirmed that they will review all details surrounding Hill’s arrest, including body camera footage of the incident.
Director Stephanie V. Daniels said, “We are aware of the recent arrest of Miami Dolphins player Tyreek Hill by officers of the Miami-Dade Police Department. I have requested an immediate review of all details surrounding the incident and we are also reviewing available body camera footage.
‘We will provide updates as more information becomes available.’
The Dolphins’ statement read: ‘This morning, WR Tyreek Hill was stopped for a traffic incident one block from the stadium and was briefly detained by police. He has since been released.
‘Several teammates saw the incident and stopped to offer support.
‘Tyreek and all other players involved have arrived safely at the stadium and will be available for today’s match.’
Despite his client being released, Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, described the incident as a “heartbreaking situation” that was “completely unnecessary” and suggested action will be taken.
