Just recently, Tyreek Hill got into an incident with the authorities, leading to his momentary detainment by the police. This led former NFL star Cam Newton to drop his take on the Miami Dolphins’ wide receiver.
Hill was briefly detained by police on his way to the season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The incident occurred just a block from the stadium, where the wide receiver was pulled over for speeding. Video footage circulated on social media showed him being handcuffed and lying on the ground next to his sports car.
After being released, Hill participated in the game, even referencing the incident by celebrating a touchdown with an imitation of being handcuffed. The Dolphins issued a statement confirming that the Dolphins star was detained for a traffic violation and emphasized that several teammates witnessed the event and offered their support.
Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, expressed his distress over the situation, calling it “heartbreaking” and “unnecessary.” He mentioned that the escalation of the stop to such a dramatic level was troubling and that they would be looking into the matter further. Miami-Dade Police Department is also reviewing the incident, including available body camera footage.
In a post-game interview, the Dolphins WR reflected on the experience, questioning how it might have differed had he not been a well-known athlete. He expressed gratitude that the situation did not escalate further and reiterated the importance of remaining calm during such encounters. Hill is a prominent figure in the NFL, known for his exceptional talent and a recent contract that makes him the highest-paid wide receiver in the league.
Former NFL Star Cam Newton Drops Honest Take on Miami Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill Incident
Hill’s encounter with the police led to a lot of reactions from the public. Among those who reacted was former NFL star Cam Newton, as seen in a video shared by ClutchPoints on X.
“I’m just trying to keep you alive… You’re a n***a in a f*cking car! You don’t get no type of privilege, bro!… It puts you in danger.”

It has been revealed that the Miami-Dade Police officer involved in Hill’s traffic stop has a history of multiple suspensions throughout his career. Officer Danny Torres, who has faced complaints regarding use of force, has been suspended at least six times. The wide receiver’s attorney is calling for transparency about these suspensions, emphasizing the need for accountability within the police department.
It remains to be seen how the whole ordeal will end and what the consequences will be for both parties. In any case, Newton’s take on the matter made perfect sense, especially for a star like Hill.
