CelebNSports247.com reports that Kansas City Chief safety Tyrann Mathieu said he was fully expected to play alongside Hill after signing a three-year, $42 million deal with Kansas City last month.
Why Tyrann Mathieu Calls Tyreek Hill situation “very disappointing.”
Now that Tyreek Hill has been suspended indefinitely after the damning audio revealed that Hill was responsible for breaking his sons arm back in January it appears its more unlikely he will NOT playing alongside Hill.
Mathieu told SB Nation Radio (via TPS):
I think it’s bad, man. Obviously, it’s very disappointing. Obviously, I came to the Chiefs with hopes that I could watch him play football and watch him run back punts and catch long bombs and outrun everybody. You know, it’s a very unfortunate situation.
I haven’t been his teammate much, just basically two or three weeks. So it’s not really fair for me to comment on his character. I don’t think I really know him. But like I said just with everything that’s out right now and obviously the audio, it’s very disappointing, not only from a teammate standpoint but I’m a father as well. It’s very disappointing.
Tyreek Hill details:
Last Friday, the Chiefs went ahead and suspended Hill “for the foreseeable future” following the shocking audio. The 11-minute video reveals Hill and Espinal discussing the police investigation as well as showcasing verbally and possibly how physically abusive Tyreek truly is towards his son and fiancee.
The Chief statement read:
We were deeply disturbed and concerned by what we heard. We have great concern for Crystal, we are greatly concerned for Tyreek, but our main concern is with the young child. … We are going to gather more information, we’re going to evaluate this information, and we will make the right decision regarding Tyreek Hill
Since the audio, the criminal case against Tyreek Hill and his fiancee has been reopened.
