Tyreek Hill, the Miami Dolphins wide receiver, has insisted that he is the fastest competitor, challenging Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles’ standing in sprinting. Recently, Hill defeated Lyles’ younger brother, Josephus Lyles, a professional sprinter, in an unofficial race, fueling his claim to the “fastest” title. Although Noah Lyles won the 100m race at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Hill’s win against Josephus brought renewed attention to the blazing speed rivalry.
Tyreek Hill Beats Josephus Lyles and Teases Noah Lyles
In a race whose official times were not disclosed, Tyreek Hill came out ahead against Josephus Lyles, Noah’s younger sibling. Hill shared a photo with Josephus to confirm his victory, then took a lighthearted jab at Noah by showing off a sign that read “Noah could never.” This playful banter between the athletes continues as both Hill and Noah have traded competitive messages online with phrases like “Noah could never” and “Tyreek could never.” Despite the teasing, neither has committed to a direct race to settle who is truly faster.
With the NFL season approaching rapidly, it seems unlikely that the two will arrange a head-to-head competition any time soon, leaving fans to speculate about who holds the speed crown in professional athletics.
