FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Perhaps I’m naive, but I’ll admit that I was a bit surprised Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was accused of an alleged assault on June 18. I was caught off guard because the Dolphins have done a good job of staying away from knuckleheads recently, and players have done a good job of staying away from knucklehead behavior.
Granted, we don’t know what happened between Hill and a fishing charter employee at Haulover Marina on Miami Beach. Complete details haven’t yet emerged, and there have been no charges filed.
Here’s one thing we know for sure: Dolphins general manager Chris Grier and coach Mike McDaniel have tried to assemble a team that’s pretty much free of knuckleheads (that’s my term, not theirs). And for the most part, they’ve accomplished that goal.
