Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill can’t seem to keep his hands to himself. In the latest incident this NFL offseason, Hill smacked a boat captain in the back of the neck for asking him to get off his boat. Ultimately, the victim dropped the charges, and now NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the league are once again looking the other way when it comes to a potential Tyreek Hill suspension.
With the NFL season just over a week away, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport tweeted, “On #Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill and his off-the-field issues this offseason: There will be no action taken by the league.”
According to police reports from this summer, Tyreek Hill and friends boarded a docked fishing boat after being told it was illegal to fish from the dock in Miami. When the boat’s captain asked Hill and his friends to leave — as being on the boat without being a paying customer is a liability — the WR reportedly told the captain, “I can buy you and the boat” and “I'm No. 10 from the Miami Dolphins” before slapping him in the back of the head.
Hill, who makes $30 million a year in the NFL, reached a personal settlement with the victim, and he dropped the charges.
This isn’t the first (or even second) time Hill has been accused, investigated, or charged with assaulting someone, and Roger Goodell declined to hand down a Tyreek Hill suspension.
In college, Hill pled guilty to domestic assault and battery by strangulation after an attack on his pregnant girlfriend, and in 2019, authorities investigated him for an incident where the NFL player’s son broke his arm, and Hill later threatened his fiancé, but he escaped that without charges or a suspension as well.
