Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill still hasn’t said anything regarding the investigation into alleged child abuse involving him at his home.
Hill made his first public comments since police and child services in Overland Park announced earlier this month they were looking into incidents of battery and neglect with a juvenile listed as a victim, but he didn’t address the off-field situation in a workout video posted to his YouTube page.
“You write your own story, don’t let no analyst write your story,” Hill says in the video.
“… We don’t take no days off. If you want to be the best, you’ve got to work to be the best, baby. You’ve got to prove you’re the best every Sunday, too. Every day, for real, you’ve got to prove you’re the best every day for real, because there’s no telling who’s working right now. AB [Antonio Brown] could be working, Julio [Jones] could be working, Odell [Beckham Jr.] could be working, DeAndre [Hopkins] could be working. So I’m trying to outrun them.
“Two times a day, baby. Cheetah coming back, man. Stronger, baby. Fastest in the game.”
Hill’s fiancee, Crystal Espinal, was listed under “others involved” in the case, according to the Kansas City Star, with a source telling the newspaper the alleged victim is the couple’s son.
Hill was kicked off the Oklahoma State football team and pleaded guilty to punching and choking Espinal in 2014; he received a deferred three-year sentence that later was expunged from his record.
“Small city, but I got a bigger dream. How about that? Bigger dream, man, so if I can do it, anybody can do it,” Hill says in the video. “I am my own man. I just want to be great, though. I want better for my family, and I will get better for my family. More for my family, too. How about that, baby?
“Cheetah gang is the only way. Cheetah way is the only way. … Shout-out to Chiefs Kingdom, though, man. Behind your boy 110 percent. I stay working for you all.”
The Chiefs released running back Kareem Hunt in November after video surfaced of him physically assaulting a woman at a hotel, earning him an eight-game suspension from the NFL. The Chiefs have said they’ve remained in contact with the league and local authorities about the Hill investigation.
“We don’t have the whole grasp of it yet,” GM Brett Veach said during the NFL’s owners meetings last month. “We’re still working through it. We just don’t have all the information right now. Once we do, we’ll be able to make a decision that’s in the best interest of the organization.”
