Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis salutes after his third quarter touchdown during Super Bowl XXXII at San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium Sunday, January 25, 1998. The Broncos defeated the Packers 31-24.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Davis said Monday he was “humiliated" after being handcuffed and removed from a United Airlines flight, then later apologized to by law enforcement, over the weekend.

Davis, who previously played for the Denver Broncos, wrote in an Instagram post that he had tapped a flight attendant on the arm, prompting the employee to shout “don't hit me” and hurry toward the front of the plane.
