Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has added to his legal representation and advocated for wide police reform in the aftermath of his Sept. 8 traffic stop, according to TMZ Sports.

Julius B. Collins, Hill's original lawyer, is now working with Jeffrey A. Neiman, Stephen B. Kelly Jr. and Devon M. Jacob.

"Tyreek intends to continue the national movement for necessary police reform that George Floyd's death started," Jacob said on Hill's behalf. "Tyreek is demanding that Congress finally pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act."

Named in honor of the man murdered by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in 2020, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act would among other things limit qualified immunity for officers in civil matters and lower the standard for conviction when police are the subject of federal prosecutions for misconduct.
