What appears to be the case is that tyreek hill is actually better at the 100/200 than he is at the 40 yard dash and the 60. Definitely olympic talent I don't think that has ever been disputed. It makes me happy to know he's always been this fast because I've always said that tyreek hill is the fastest actual football player ever. Guys who only have like 2 seasons on special teams don't count. Tyreek is the fastest period.
And he’s 31. Obviously he isn’t beating Lyles but I don’t think anyone would argue that if Hill had chose track then he would have been successful. Most of our best athletes choose other sports anyway. No surprise here. pretty impressive he can still run 10.1 at 31. Now he’s def on more juice then Lyles could risk using lol so there’s that part too.
I'll be upfront that I'm hating, but I'm hating with a dose of TRUTH. A 10.15 with a +1.2 is essentially a 10.21 or so in basic. When I was capable of 10.2s, no one cared and everyone made excuses for how I wasn't that good or it wasnt that impressive. So, this is ALL more about WHO he is, rather than how ultimately fast he actually is on the track. Particularly when you contextualize it with Lyles. Which you HAVE to do since Hill himself name checks Lyles immediatelyafter the race.
Of course, 10.15 is a prelim heat shutdown warmup for Lyles, but you'll likely never hear that from the pundits and idiots for the next few weeks.
The better question than Lyles is, who would win in a 100, Hill, or that DIII white kid? I'd put my money still on the DIIIer.
Well-said. I also just don’t plain like Tyreek as a bad person and clout-chaser, so I admit my bias there.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Every HS football player should be participating in track & field during the spring. Track & field training is an excellent compliment to football athleticism.
The benefits of having a faster, more athletic, and better conditioned team far outweigh the minimal chance of injury. Sprints, jumps, hurdles, for the skill positions and throws for the big boys. The only one who gets a pass here is the kicker, who should probably play soccer instead.
most do (or did?) ... i remember about 15 or 20 years ago in the NCAA championship game all but like 3 of the starters on both sides of the ball for both teams were all state in track and field in high school
Many of the Power 5 Football Teams in the NE do not want their Football players to participate in Track particularly Outdoor afraid of injury. Both times when Johnny Majors Coached at Pitt being from Tenn. he permitted it and Football players did very well for the Track Team. Anthony Dorsett,JR, Raiders and Titans IC4A Champ in the 55m and winner of the Milrose Football 60, ,Detrick Jells Erie,PA Eagles and others. Some non speed position guys ran indoors to help with their Football 40's.

Sorry that nobody thought that you were fast when you ran 10.2! Sounds tough :/
Obviously he is displaced to line 2 to counter the unfair advantages he had at that 64 final, getting to use someone else's spikes, and a nice cinder track, and pre-chewed up lane 1 to help him....
Wow. That would have been considerably under any betting line projected time.
The Dolphins have had lots of very fast guys in recent years. They race against each other in practice. Lots of pride and trash talking. That may have played a small role in Tyreek being sharp and starting so well.
He also didn't want another embarrassing video clip like being double juked and beaten for a touchdown in flag football by that 13 year old girl a few weeks ago. There was a similar one last summer but that girl wasn't anywhere near as quick or athletic as the recent one.
I'm pretty certain a 13 year old girl didn't make Tyreek look bad.
I can think of at least 5 guys in my high school that were on gear and that’s only who openly told me / this was before you could easily get it on the internet. Him being jacked in HS means nothing.
Contrarian indeed. Explaining away a 10.1 run by a non track athlete 30 year old is next level hatin'
no one on here is saying he's gonna beat the Olympic gold medalist, but acting like this run wasn't impressive is nuts
