Tyreek Hill says he’s ready to race anyone in the NFL

Tyreek Hill is ready to challenge anyone in the NFL to a race.

Earlier this offseason, Tyreek Hill began posting a stream of workout videos which put every single workout any of us have ever done to shame. He’s also indicated on numerous occasions that he’s approached this offseason differently than any before, by  adding yoga to his routine and focusing on explosiveness and durability as he prepares for the 2020 season. Last year, the All-Pro wideout was hampered by a broken clavicle as well as an injured hamstring, and he seems intent on minimizing those risks this year.

Now that he’s broken the internet with his unbelievable workout videos, Hill has taken his offseason to the next level. Bleacher Report quoted “Cheetah” this weekend saying, “Anybody who want a real head up race I’m here”.

The challenge comes on the heels of multiple talking heads across the league arguing that someone other than Hill may, in fact, be the fastest player in the league. In addition to those analyst ramblings, even other players have challenged Hill’s throne as the fastest in the game, like new Miami Dolphin running back Matt Breida recently did on Good Morning Football. Hill’s 100-yard dash time in high school was fast enough to be an Olympic finalist, so we kind of doubt Breida can actually beat him.

The leader of the so-called “Legion of Zoom”, Hill was known for little else upon entering the NFL in 2016. During his rookie season he utilized that speed primarily as a gadget player and returner, and was a 1st Team All-Pro selection and a Pro Bowler for his efforts. Since that time, and with the addition of Patrick Mahomes at quarterback, Hill has developed in to one of the premier receivers in the National Football League. He is now a four-time Pro Bowler with two 1st Team All-Pro selections in just four years in the league.

The NFL should work to set up races like this during the offseason or Pro Bowl week, and perhaps they will. Of course, if they want “Cheetah” to compete, they should target the offseason, as Super Bowl participants do not take part in Pro Bowl festivities. Hill is likely unavailable during that week for the foreseeable future.
