Herman Hill, the father of Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill, attended his team’s game against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night and supported his son in every way he could.
Hill stood on the sidelines at Hard Rock Stadium wearing a white T-shirt with a two-word message: “Free Cheetah.” The shirt also featured a photo of his son celebrating during last week’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The wide receiver put his hands behind his back and Jaylen Waddle “unlocked” his imaginary handcuffs, poking fun at his police custody.

After a few long days, Tyreek Hill was back in the squad for Thursday night’s game.
Hill was arrested near Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday after being stopped for traffic violations. Bodycam footage of the incident showed the intense moments when Miami-Dade police officers stopped the player, got out of his car and handcuffed him on the ground.
An officer involved in the incident was assigned administrative duties following his arrest.
Hill has since called for the official’s resignation.

The wide receiver spoke to reporters about the incident at a press conference on Wednesday, admitting there were things he could have done differently.
“My whole life is about responsibility,” Hill said. “How can I improve? I have family members who are police officers right now. We’ve talked about it. Yes, I have to say I could have improved. I could have rolled down my window in that moment, but I don’t want attention. I don’t want to be there with cameras and cell phones in that moment.

“But at the end of the day, I’m only human. I have to follow the rules and do what everyone else would do. Does that give them the right to literally beat me up? Absolutely not. But at the end of the day, I wish I could go back and do things a little differently.”
