The detention of Hill, as he was placed facedown on the road and handcuffed, has sparked intense reaction. The wide receiver's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told The Dan Le Batard Show on Tuesday that he believes the officers involved should be fired. Hill's teammate, Tua Tagovailoa, was shocked and made emotional by the video.
Hill played in Sunday's game after the incident, scoring a touchdown in the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
