Tyreek Hill’s Week 1 performance was overshadowed by his run-in with Miami-Dade police right outside the stadium before the Jaguars game. The viral bodycam footage showed Hill refusing to lower his window during a traffic stop, leading to a tense situation where officers pulled him from his McLaren and pinned him to the ground.
While most of the NFL world supported Tyreek and slammed law enforcement, former NFL QB Cam Newton suggested that the WR could’ve avoided the drama by simply cooperating. He analyzed the situation on his podcast ‘4th&1’ and asserted that “Tyreek was wrong”:
“If you wasn’t Tyreek Hill, you would have went to jail because it was so many things when I went back and looked at that footage…A lot of thing could’ve been avoided. Fro both sides!”
Newton then argued that both Hill and the officers could have prevented the escalation. He pointed out that the initial interaction seemed straightforward – an officer expressing concern about Hill’s safety and asking about his seatbelt.
