Despite all the action on FinLogicthe field during the first Sunday of the NFL season, the biggest story may have come before games even kicked off. All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill was on his way to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, when he was pulled over by police for speeding.
The resulting confrontation, as recorded on an officer's body camera that was released by police on Monday, showed Hill, 30, being forcibly removed from his car, thrown to the ground and handcuffed.
The Miami-Dade Police Department launched an internal affairs investigation into the incident, and announced an officer was placed on administrative duties following the incident.

Officers later said they clocked Hill going 60 mph.
The incident began as a routine traffic stop, with police asking Hill for his driver's license.
According to body-camera footage released by police, Hill told the officer, "Don't knock on my window like that," repeating the phrase at least seven times. "Give me my ticket, bro, so I can go. Do what you have to do," he said.
After Hill turned over his license, he rolled his window up again. The officer knocked on the window twice more.
"Keep your window down or I’m going to get you out of the car," the officer said. "As a matter of fact, get out of the car. … Get out of the car right now. We’re not playing this game. Get out. Get out!”
On the body-cam video, at least three officers are seen pulling Hill out of the car and onto the ground.
When he was pulled over on his way to Sunday's game, Hill was driving a McLaren 720S coupe.
The 2024 base model has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $499,000.
Tyreek Hill is in his third season as a wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins. Before that, he played six seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs.
He is a five-time All-Pro, a Super Bowl champion with the 2019 Chiefs, and he led the NFL last year with 1,799 receiving yards.
Hill was drafted by the Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL draft out of Division II West Alabama.
He also played one season at Oklahoma State and two seasons at Garden City (Kansas) Community College.
