Tyreek Hill Responds to Noah Lyles Video, Tells Olympic Star to Sign Race Contract

Tyreek Hill is ready to race Noah Lyles.

After the 100m gold medalist said he would race Hill if the Miami Dolphins receiver was "serious" about it, Hill responded by requesting Lyles "sign the contract" and then be ready to "lock in" a 50-yard race.

Lyles became the first American to win the 100m since Justin Gatlin in 2004. The victory comes with the unofficial title of "fastest man in the world," but the speedy Hill appears ready to stake a claim for that crown.

Lyles would be the heavy favorite given his performance on the track, but Hill is a compelling contender. He competed on the track in high school and was even named the High School Athlete of the Year by Track and Field News in 2012.

Lyles earned that distinction in 2015 and 2016, but Hill's excellence on the track shows that he should be a worthy opponent if he were to focus training on the sprint. Football, however, will occupy his time for the next several months.

He was named the top player in the NFL by his peers heading into the 2024 season and is coming off of a season in which he posted a career-high and league-leading 1,799 receiving yards.
