Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, will host the Pro Bowl on Sunday. In the Pro Bowl Skills challenge, Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons beat Tyreek Hill, Nick Chubb, Trevor Diggs to win Fastest Man Race. However, he was too modest to acknowledge his victory, even after defeating the fastest player in the league.

Recently, Cameron Wolfe stopped by Micah Parsons’ practice for a quick chat. Having defeated Tyreek Hill in the skills challenge, Wolfe asked him how he felt like the fastest player in the league. Parsons replied, “I’m keeping a humble mind, as you know……. I give it to Tyreek; he wasn’t running full speed.”

Parsons humbly accepted that he only won because Tyreek wasn’t running fast enough. He knows Tyreek is the fastest player in the NFL, and the only reason he lost was that he wasn’t running fast.

Micah Parsons is faster than Tyreek Hill?

Tyreek Hill, the wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, is currently the fastest player in the NFL. Tyreek clocked 4.29 seconds in a 40-yard dash at West Alabama’s Pro Day in 2016. In addition, the 2020 NFL season saw him run at a top speed of 22.64mph. Nevertheless, Tyreek lost to the Dallas Cowboys linebacker Parsons in the Fastest Man Race. So, is the ‘lion’ faster than the ‘cheetah’?
