Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has taken aim at 100-meter Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles. The speedy Hill apparently wasn't impressed with Lyles' win and took exception when Lyles claimed NFL Super Bowl champions were not "world champions." Lyles later trolled Hill during an NBC Sports interview by claiming he didn't know who he was. Hill then took to social media on Sunday and encouraged Lyles to sign a contract to compete against him in a 50-yard dash. "Sign the contract and lock in that 50 yard race ..." Hill said on Twitter. Hill's challenge came on the heels of Lyles calling out the Dolphins wideout on "Nightcap" with Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson. "Tyreek is just chasing clout. Anytime someone fast comes up, he would try to race them. If he really wanted to race people, he would've showed up like DK Metcalf. And the man raced in the 60 meters this year in the Masters division. The man dodges smoke. I don't got time for that," Lyles said. "He's challenging me, we're racing in the 100, we can race. If he's truly serious about it. If he's truly serious about it, and I'm not talking about you're just talking on the internet ... you'll see me on the track." Hill, 30, posted a career-high, NFL-leading and franchise-record 1,799 receiving yards in 2023. He became the first player in league history to record 1,700-plus receiving yards in multiple seasons. An eight-time Pro Bowl selection, Hill has 717 catches for 10,139 yards with 76 touchdowns in 124 career games with the Kansas City Chiefs (2016-21) and Dolphins. Lyles, 27, won the men's 100 meters final in a classic at the Paris Olympics on Aug. 4. The three-time world champion at 200 meters failed even to qualify for the shorter sprint at the U.S. Olympic trials three years ago, and rebuilt himself with the singular goal of becoming the fastest man on earth. --Field Level Media
