Moment NFL star Tyreek Hill dragged to ground by police

Dramatic footage has emerged showing the moment a Miami Dolphins star was dragged to the ground by police just hours before his team's home NFL season opener.

Tyreek Hill, 30, ranked the fastest player in the NFL, was on his way to play the Jacksonville Jaguars at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday when he was pulled over by traffic police for speeding and reckless driving.

The video footage, released by Miami police, shows an officer asking the $30-million-a-year wide receiver why he did not have his seat belt on before telling him to roll down his window.

After a brief exchange, Hill rolled his window back up, prompting a second officer to forcibly pull open the car door.

The player, who is nicknamed "Cheetah" due to his explosive speed, was then forced onto the pavement face down as an officer put him in handcuffs with a knee pressed against his back.

“Take me to jail, brother, do what you have to do,” the Dolphins star could be heard saying.
