Tyreek Hill is known for his incredible footwork and remarkable speed in the NFL. He is arguably the fastest man in the NFL even though he lost his Pro Bowl race to Micah Parsons; a race that he did not intend to run passionately. And even though he is the trailblazer of the NFL world, he does not shy away from accepting challenges from other athletes.

Recently, in a clip shared by TMZ Sports, Seattle Seahawks star wide receiver DK Metcalf, who intends to represent the USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics, fired shots at the Cheetah. He confidently admitted that he could smoke Tyreek Hill in a race. In fact, he also boasted that he was the fastest man in the NFL.

It was a bold claim to make for a young athlete who has yet to recover from a recent surgery. However, it seems as if DK knows he has improved his sprinting skills since last year when he recorded a 10.36s 100m sprint in the Olympic trials. His impressive speed was applauded by many players, including Hill.

Now that DK has proposed an outright challenge to Hill’s authority, Cheetah is not even a bit serious about it. The Chief wideout aims higher. He aspires to command the bigger picture by winning against the World’s fastest man ever, Usain Bolt. The two speedsters are known for their verbal feud on Twitter. They have frequently bantered each other and are still to compete on tracks.

Tyreek Hill responds to DK Metcalf

Tyreek Hill believes that DK Metcalf does not stand a chance against him. But is that so? Even though a comparative analysis between the two reveals the same, but considering the progress made by DK over the past few months and his bold aspirations, Metcalf might be a close call against the Kansas City star.

Interestingly, Hill does not think the same. In his recent tweet in response to DK’s bold claim, Tyreek called out for a challenge to the Seattle youngster. He addressed Usain Bolt that he will be the next after he warms up against DK. As if Cheetah already knew who would win in that race.
