Is Tyreek Hill the fastest NFL player? Showdown with Olympic champion Noah Lyles could prove it soon
Is Tyreek Hill the fastest NFL player? (Image via AP) Tyreek Hill, the Miami Dolphins' speedster known as "Cheetah," is preparing to put his legendary quickness to the ultimate test. With a potential race against Olympic 100m champion Noah Lyles looming in June, Hill is training hard to prove he's more than just NFL fast. Could this long-rumored sprint showdown finally settle the debate once and for all? Tyreek Hill trains for sprint race in June, eyes possible showdown with Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has long been considered one of the fastest players in the NFL. Nicknamed 'Cheetah' for his blazing speed, Hill is now putting that reputation to the ultimate test. The seven-time Pro Bowler is in training for a sprinting showdown with none other than Olympic 100m gold medalist Noah Lyles. While Hill hasn't confirmed the exact details of the anticipated head-to-head, he told reporters on Thursday that he is preparing for a trial race on June 13 in Los Angeles — the day after the Dolphins wrap up a mandatory minicamp. 'Actually I've got a race June 13, I'm doing like a little trial race so I can get in shape for that,' Hill said. 'I'm looking forward to it.' This potential race could finally settle the ongoing debate between football and track fans about who truly holds the speed crown — the NFL's fastest man or the reigning Olympic champion. Lyles, who won gold in the 100 meters at the Paris 2024 Olympics with a personal best of 9.79 seconds, has previously exchanged barbs with Hill on social media, fueling speculation that the two might eventually go toe-to-toe on the track. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel not too concerned — for now While Hill is clearly enthusiastic, questions remain about whether his NFL contract would allow such an event. Although track racing involves minimal contact, the risk of a muscular injury still exists. When Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was asked about Hill's plans, his response was refreshingly blunt. 'I have no idea, nor do I care,' McDaniel said. 'First, theoretically, if people are competing and it's helping their training — as long as he doesn't train to be a sprinter and he's running routes while he's doing it, that's cool,' he added. 'Whether I'm going to stand and say whether I'll allow something — I don't even know where that stands nor did I know that it existed, so we'll cross that page.'

Whether or not he actually lines up against Lyles in June, the buzz is real. And if the race does happen, fans could finally get an answer to a long-standing question: Can a top NFL receiver outrun an Olympic champion on the track?

Las Vegas Raiders could pursue Tyreek Hill trade to strengthen 2025 offense, with $36M cap space available
Raiders eye Tyreek Hill to boost offense (Image via: Getty Images) T he Las Vegas Raiders are rebuilding after a tough 2024 season with three different starting quarterbacks. New GM John Spytek and head coach Pete Carroll are leading the changes. With around $36 million in cap space, the Raiders might pursue star wide receiver Tyreek Hill to strengthen their offense for the 2025 season. Tyreek Hill could ignite the Raiders' offense The Story of Tyreek Hill On paper, the Raiders' offense looks promising but incomplete. Geno Smith, acquired from Seattle, is expected to lead the charge in 2025, certainly an upgrade from last year's quarterback carousel involving Gardner Minshew, Aidan O'Connell, and Desmond Ridder. Smith brings stability, experience, and a proven ability to manage an offense, but his supporting cast leaves much to be desired. Second-year tight end Brock Bowers has already shown flashes of brilliance, while rookie running back Ashton Jeanty has the potential to make a splash. However, beyond Jakobi Meyers, the wide receiver group lacks explosive playmakers, leaving a glaring void in the Raiders' aerial attack. Enter Tyreek Hill—a controversial but undeniably electrifying talent. At 31, Hill might be past his absolute prime, but his speed and playmaking ability remain elite. From a modest start as a fifth-round pick from Kansas City, Hill blossomed into one of the NFL's most feared receivers, boasting five All-Pro selections and a Super Bowl ring. His career stats speak volumes: nearly 800 receptions, over 11,000 yards, and 82 touchdowns between his stints with the Chiefs and Dolphins. Despite his on-field production, Hill's relationship with the Miami Dolphins appears strained, especially after his candid frustration with the team's finish last season. Although Dolphins GM Chris Grier insists Hill isn't currently available for trade, rumors swirl around his possible departure. For the Raiders, who currently hold roughly $36 million in cap space, pursuing Hill would be a costly but potentially transformative gamble. Beyond his talent, Hill's presence would instantly diversify the Raiders' offense. His blazing speed would stretch defenses and open up underneath routes for players like Bowers, possibly elevating the entire unit. Moreover, Hill still has two years left on his contract, which could be renegotiated to ease salary cap pressures.

But the Raiders seem willing to take chances under their new leadership. If they pull off this move, it could signal a franchise ready to shed its recent struggles and return to contender status.
