Tyreek Hill is going out of his way to help out the social media staffer who was suspended by the NFL.

Earlier this week, Kevin Fitzgibbons revealed that he had been suspended from his NFL job for the rest of the season after Hill took his phone and celebrated with a backflip selfie in the endzone.

Hill told ESPN that he’s close with Fitzgibbons and has been giving him advice during his ordeal.

“Me and K-Fitz, we’ve got a long history together. The news is something that I already knew. I told him don’t let this get to you. Just hold your head up. You’re still young. Continue to do what you love. Me and him are going to continue to work together,”

The Miami Dolphins star says that he will pay Fitzgibbons’ salary that he lost due to being suspended by the NFL.

“I told him I was going to cover his salary, whatever the NFL was going to pay him or whatever. I told him I was going to make sure that I do what’s right and take care of you, make sure you’re not out of a job. That’s my guy,”

Hill seems like a pretty solid guy.
