Tyreek Hill walked to the microphone for one of the biggest moments of his life. He was visibly scared, and uncomfortable, stumbling over his words as a dozen or so strangers with notebooks and TV cameras asked about his worst moment, the one for which he is now infamous.
This is Hill’s new reality now, and it’s one that he created with a horrifying burst of rage, hitting and strangling his then-pregnant girlfriend 18 months ago. Since then, he has been kicked off one college football team, accepted at another — over the protests of some students — and last week became the source of rage in Kansas City and nationally about domestic violence in the NFL and beyond.
