Whether an NFL superstar can defeat the three-time Olympic gold medalist is there for people to see. Nonetheless, the rivalry between Usain Bolt and Tyreek Hill is coming to a boiling point. With Hill challenging Bolt to a sprint race, the NFL wide receiver is confident in his chances of defeating Bolt. So confident, that he wants to give you his Super Bowl ring. Things are heating up!

As Bolt retired from athletics after the 2016 Rio Olympics, the 35-year-old legend is venturing into different fields like music. But, Hill seems determined to pull him out of retirement and win the race. This move prompted athletes like Fred Kerley and Rai Benjamin to respond by putting hilarious tweets.
