“Noah could never”: Tyreek Hill calls out Olympic Champion in bold sprint challenge

Tyreek Hill has made a career out of leaving defenders in the dust. But now, the Miami Dolphins wide receiver—better known to fans as “Cheetah”—is setting his sights beyond the football field.

In a bold new chapter of his athletic journey, Hill is challenging Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles to a 100-meter race. With a freshly clocked sprint time that’s raised more than a few eyebrows, Hill is not just chasing bragging rights—he’s chasing a title: the fastest man alive. And it’s not just about speed anymore—it’s about leadership, legacy, and something to prove.

Tyreek Hill stuns with 10.15s 100m sprint, challenges Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles to a head-to-head race fans are dying to see

At the Last Chance Sprint Series held in Sherman Oaks, California, on June 8, 2025, Tyreek Hill stunned the track world by running a 100-meter dash in 10.15 seconds—his first official appearance in the event since 2014. Outpacing all 91 sprinters in the heats, Hill’s blazing comeback didn’t just earn him the top spot, it sent a direct message to a particular rival.

“Noah could never,” Hill said post-race, firing a shot at Noah Lyles, the reigning 100-meter Olympic champion who won gold in Paris in 2024 with a time of 9.784 seconds. The two have traded verbal jabs before, but Hill’s latest performance has made a potential head-to-head more than just fantasy.

When asked about a possible showdown, both athletes confirmed interest in racing before the U.S. Outdoor Championships in July.Back in 2016, Hill logged the fastest speed ever recorded by NFL’s Next Gen Stats—23.24 mph on a kick return. Even in 2023, he ranked among the league’s fastest, topping 21.5 mph on four separate occasions. But this new sprint effort marks a serious return to the track scene, one that has fans and track insiders buzzing.

How Tyreek Hill is proving himself on and off the field

Off the track, Hill is tackling another challenge: leadership. While his speed has never been in question, his role within the Miami Dolphins locker room has. Speaking to local media earlier this offseason at Dolphins HQ in Miami Gardens, Hill admitted, “I’ve got to prove myself.” He explained that his past behavior didn’t fully reflect the expectations of a team captain and that he’s working to earn that title the right way.Bradley Chubb, the Dolphins’ star edge rusher, noted this shift firsthand. “He’s been more vocal, more involved,” Chubb told reporters. “You can tell he wants to lead.”Whether it's blazing down a football field or going stride for stride with an Olympian, Tyreek Hill’s 2025 is shaping up to be his most dynamic season yet. He’s not just chasing Noah Lyles—he’s chasing growth, greatness, and respect. If the race happens, it’ll be a must-watch. But either way, Hill’s already showing that speed isn’t his only weapon.Also Read: NFL rookie contract shakeup: 30 second-round picks still unsigned as guaranteed deals disrupt the system
