Miami Dolphins powerhouse talent Tyreek Hill is known for his celebration method in the league. During Hill’s backflip celebratory time, a videographer’s phone was involved and the said person’s credentials have been suspended by the NFL.
The NFL has rescinded Kevin Fitzgibbon’s credentials as his device was taken by Hill during his touchdown celebration. The incident happened in the Miami Dolphins vs. Carolina Panthers game.
After scoring a touchdown point, Hill went on to grab the cellphone device from University of Miami student Kevin Fitzgibbons, who was on the sidelines, and with his device, he recorded a backflip stunt.

According to Awful Announcing, regarding Fitzgibbon’s suspension of credentials, Tyreek Hill shared, “I told him don’t let this get to you, man. Just hold your head up. You’re still young and continue to do what you love,”
“Obviously, me and him are going to continue to work together. I told him I was going to cover his salary, whatever the NFL was going to pay him or whatever. I told him I was going to make sure that I do what’s right and take care of you. Make sure you’re not out of a job. That’s my guy.”
