As reported by USA Today, Hill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus said, “It's a heartbreaking situation. Obviously, I love Tyreek, I hated to see him in the situation he was in with the police. He is gonna play today. Number one, he's OK. Number two, he's gonna play. Number three, apparently he got a ticket for a moving violation entering the stadium.”
Rosenhaus also expressed confusion over how the situation escalated to the point where Hill was handcuffed and held on the ground, calling it deeply concerning. He emphasized that they would be investigating the matter and would continue to support Hill.
