Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill received attention online after stating he could beat Olympic 100-metre sprinting champion Noah Lyles in a race.
If thirst for attention were an Olympic event, there'd be a photo finish between Tyreek Hill and Noah Lyles | CBC Sports Loaded
"I could beat Noah Lyles," said Hill, nicknamed "Cheetah," holder of the highly unofficial title of NFL's Fastest Man, in a post-practice interview with the Up and Adams podcast. 6x All Pro and SB Champ Tyreek Hill responds to Noah Lyles comments about Super Bowl winners not being "World Champs"... 👀🔊"Come on bruh, just speak on what you know about and that's track... I would beat Noah Lyles ." @cheetah @heykayadams @MiamiDolphins… pic.twitter.com/E6zQ9EgEBXAnd he knows enough about how the media work to pick the right time and target for his latest viral sound byte., then revealed he had run the race while sick with COVID-19.
Football fans enamoured with the idea of Hill's speed point out that Hill ran his fastest times in high school, and project that he's even faster now. People who know sprinting understand that the age, mileage and muscle mass Hill has accrued since 2012 likely have dulled his top-end speed. And if this debate pivots on high school results, Lyles was also faster as a teenager.
