Is NFL star Tyreek Hill upset? Probably, yes! Despite making waves for beating Noah Lyles’ brother in a 100-meter race, Dolphins WR left disappointed at this moment. For Hill, 31, a moment that should have been filled with joy turned sour when the surprise guest he anticipated for a victory celebration did not show up, leaving him feeling ghosted.

Taking to his official IG handle, he expressed his dejection. He dropped the AI image featuring him with a ghost. The image has text that reads, “Twitch. TV Vs Cheetah“. In his IG story post, he also mentioned the time, “5:15 pm ET,” with a shocked emoji. Later, in his second story, he revealed that the unnamed person didn’t show up. The post picture featured a runway with teary-eyed emojis and a strong caption: “he didn’t show up lol.”

Surprisingly, NFL WR’s post came after he had an impressive showdown against Noah Lyles’ brother, where he demonstrated his unrivaled speed and agility. Known for his competitive nature, Hill competed in the ATX Sprint Classic in Austin, where he finished fourth in a seven-man race with an outstanding 100-meter dash time of 10.10 seconds. So, who knows, maybe this time his competitor, who didn’t show up, was the Olympian, Noah Lyles, himself?

Back in mid-June 2025, plans were on to pit Hill vs Lyles in Times Square, New York. However, during a Cannes event on June 16, 2025, six-time World champion Lyles revealed the shocking news that the race was called off for “personal reasons” and “sponsor concerns.” That conflict, then? No longer there.

Strive to continue till June 28, 2025, Hill didn’t sit around awaiting his commitments to be fulfilled. Instead, he chose Lyles’ brother to compete against him on the track.

Tyreek Hill’s impressive 100-meter dash time

On 28th June, the first-team All-Pro honoree WR beat fifth-place Josephus Lyles, the younger brother of Olympic legend Noah Lyles, who finished in 10.25 seconds. It indeed showcased Hill’s athletic prowess. Astonishingly, NFL Super Bowl-winning WR Hill had not run track competitively for ten years before he chose to start this summer. But, undoubtedly, his latest performance in the 100-meter race really raised many eyebrows as his time of 10.10 seconds is quite good.

However, it is much slower than Noah Lyles’ time of 9.79 seconds at the Olympics in Paris last year. As of right now, Hill has run the 100 meters in 10.10 and 10.15 seconds at two track meets this summer. For anyone who is not a professional competitive sprinter, those are incredible times.

Although 8-time Pro Bowler WR Hill might never be able to overtake Lyles for the world’s fastest man title, he is still the fastest in the NFL. Obviously, he hopes that it transcends to the football field this coming season. And, a 5 times First-team All-Pro WR  is counting on Tua Tagovailoa to remain healthy at quarterback so that Miami can have a successful season.

In case the Dolphins’ situation doesn’t improve, Hill has the option to give up football altogether and continue searching for 100-meter sprints. Obviously, seeing Hill follow his sprinting passion during the off-season is cool. It will not be surprising that NFL viewers will soon witness him using his impressive athletic abilities as one of the league’s fastest wide receivers.
