Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill and Scottie Scheffler now share more in common than they ever could have imagined, and fans have had a great time turning that into a meme.
Hill was pulled over for a traffic violation during his drive to Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday morning. He reportedly got into a verbal altercation with a police officer during the stop, which led to the wide receiver being handcuffed on the ground. You can see a video here.
The incident immediately reminded everyone of what happened with Scheffler back in May, when the World No. 1 golfer was arrested just outside Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky. Scheffler was stopped by police, arrested and charged in an incident that authorities later admitted was a misunderstanding.
The similarities between the two situations led to some hilarious memes on Sunday:

Scheffler shot a five-under 66 hours after his arrest, which took place before the second round of the PGA Championship. He wound up finishing tied for 8th at 13-under. Not long after he was handcuffed on the ground, Hill caught 7 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown in Miami’s 20-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Hill even broke out a custom handcuff celebration after scoring on Sunday. Scheffler didn’t do anything like that after his big PGA Tour wins this year, but perhaps he will take a page from Hill’s book at some point down the road.
