NFL STAR WANTS TO RACE LYLES

Dolphins’ speedy wideout Hill claims he can outrun US 100m Paris champ over 50 yards

- 

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has taken aim at 100m Olympic gold medallist Noah Lyles.

The speedy Hill apparently was not impressed with Lyles' win and took exception when Lyles claimed the National Football League (NFL) Super Bowl champions were not "world champions".

"I would beat Noah Lyles (in a race)," Hill said during an interview on the Up & Adams Show. "I wouldn't beat him by a lot, but I would beat Noah Lyles." He also took a dig at Lyles' revelation that he was suffering from Covid-19 when he ran the Olympic 200m final. The American finished third, behind winner Letsile Tebogo of Botswana and Kenny Bednarek of the United States.

"Noah Lyles can't say nothing, after what just happened to him. He wants to come out and pretend that he's sick. I feel that's like horseradish," said Hill, who is considered to be the fastest man in the NFL.

"For him to do that and say that, that we're not world champions of our sport? Come on brother, speak on what you know about, and that's track... When I beat him, I'll put on a Covid mask, because I mean business." Lyles later said during an NBC Sports interview he did not know who Hill was.
