The NFL announced that it will not suspend Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill today.
Shortly following that announcement we finally heard from Hill. It was the first time he offered any officially comment since the investigation into allegations of child abuse began.
“The last few months have been very difficult for, especially as a father,” Hill wrote on Twitter. “The false allegations originally reported in March were highly publicized and involved the care of my son. I am grateful for so many people who have supported me during this challenging time. I fully respect and accept the NFL’s decision.
“To the fans friends and family that I have made in Kansas City: I love you and thank you for your continued support. To the NFLPA, Mr. Ned Ehrlich: thank you for your dedication, understanding and guidance throughout this process. To the NFL, Commissioner Goodell and everyone who assisted in this invesigation: thank you for your time and for conducting a thorough investigation. I will not let you down”
Hill continued, “To the Kansas City Chiefs, Clark Hunt, Brett Veach, Coach Reid, the entire organization and the Chiefs Kingdom: You gave me a home when everyone doubted me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you all. I can assure you that I will continue to work to be the person, player, and teammate that you envisioned me to be.
“To my children, my beautiful children: I love you all dearly and I promise you all that I will continue to strive to be the best father, the best friend, the best role model, and the best mentor that I can be. I love you all.”
During this difficult time, Hill seems to be most thankful for the support that he’s received from within the organization, the NFLPA and even Chiefs fans. Hill has a lot of work to do in his personal life and on the football field, but if this statement is any indication, he’s fully prepared to meet those challenges head on.
