Every challenger steps up and every challenger eventually gives way to Tyreek Hill. The latest challenge from running back Aaron Jones of the Green Bay Packers recently came and went with Hill, the K.C. Chiefs top wide receiver, dominating Jones in an answer to see who was fastest. The answer is always Hill.
Still that doesn’t stop random NFL Players or other athletes from trying to call out Hill for a chance at a footrace, and Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf is the latest such competitor hoping to somehow come out differently. Metcalf originally made his plea on Twitter.
Get at me next off season @cheetah

Metcalf has a background in track and field, so this is not to say that Metcalf is, in any way, a slouch compared to Hill. He’s a very fast man and an exciting receiver, so the pairing would certainly drum up a lot of interest for fans who want something to watch in the offseason featuring two of the NFL’s better athletes.
Tyreek Hill of the Chiefs has a few athletes wanting to race him.
Last year, Hill took on NFL legend Terrell Owens in a race, which actually made Owens look great considering he’s old enough to be Hill’s father potentially. Hill was also supposed to take on Adam Schefter in a post-COVID race set up last December for some to-be-determined time, but nothing has come to fruition. Suffice it to say, Hill stays relatively busy just responding to such requests.
At the same time, Hill has made such requests of his own. When Scotty Miller of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stated that he was faster than Hill, the Chiefs receiver reached out to try to set up a contest. If and when that ever takes place is uncertain, but it shows that Hill isn’t just passively taking on these requests without feeling the adrenaline of competition himself.
We’re still waiting on Schefter or Miller before Metcalf is up, so it’s hard to say when anything will happen. But Hill has a few options for his next race if he’s ready to schedule it.
