Tyreek Hill, wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins and known as one of the fastest players in the NFL, thinks he could outrun the fastest man in the world, Noah Lyles.
Lyles, who won the 100 meters at the Paris Olympics with a time of 9.79 seconds, is just 0.21 seconds away from breaking Usain Bolt’s world record. Despite Lyles’ impressive speed, Hill believes he could still win in a race against him.
"I wouldn't beat him by a lot, but I would beat Noah Lyles," Hill said during an interview on the *Up & Adams* show.

Lyles has recently stirred up some controversy by criticizing North American sports leagues for calling their champions "world champions." He questioned why teams in leagues like the NBA use the term when they only compete in the United States.
Hill didn’t hold back when responding to Lyles' comments. "For him to say we’re not world champions of our sport... Come on, bruh, just stick to what you know, and that's track," Hill said.

Hill also pointed out that Lyles didn’t reach his goal of winning both the 100 meters and 200 meters at the Paris Olympics. Lyles finished third in the 200 meters and later revealed he had tested positive for COVID-19 before the race.
“World champion of what? The United States?”

Hill's comments add to the ongoing debate about the use of the term "world champion" and whether it should be reserved for global competitions like the Olympics.
