The Scottie Scheffler comparisons were thrown out immediately when the news broke on Sunday morning. Tyreek Hill, one of the biggest stars in the entire NFL, was detained by police in handcuffs on the side of the road while driving to Hard Rock Stadium for the Dolphins’ season opener against the Jaguars. Little did we know just how apt the Scheffler comp really was.
After Scottie spent the morning in a Kentucky jail for a very minor traffic incident, he casually went out and fired a five-under 66 in the second round, one of the low rounds of the day. Tyreek’s afternoon followed a similar fashion. After a slow start that saw him sitting at just over 20 receiving yards for much of the day, Hill took advantage of his best attribute — speed — and flipped the game on the Jaguars’ head.
And just like one very smart and very handsome person predicted immediately following the arrest, Hill celebrated the score by getting handcuffed.
Like Scheffler — who had all charges dropped with a quickness — Hill also ended up getting quick judicial justification for whatever happened, with an officer involved being put on administrative leave before the Dolphins even made it back to the locker room. Hill also said he had “no idea” why he was pulled and noted, like Scheffler, he didn’t say who he was when the arrest happened.
There’s probably a larger societal point to be made here, but this is a football column so let’s focus on what the end of this game says about the two teams involved instead. The Jaguars had no business losing this game. They held a 17-7 lead with 2:27 left in the third quarter of this game and had done an incredible job on defense, keeping Hill quiet and generally snuffing out the high-powered Dolphins offense.
