Hill, after the game, told reporters he didn’t understand why he was detained. "I wasn't disrespectful... I still don't know what happened," he said. Hill also raised concerns about how the situation could have gone differently if he wasn’t famous.
Another Dolphins player, Calais Campbell, was also briefly handcuffed while trying to calm things down. He was cited for not following a direct order from the police.
