Kansas City Sports Writer Bold Claim for Chiefs 4x100m Olympic Gold.

Tyreek Hill 20.1 HSR 200m. He is the fastest but after that I cant confirm anyone else has world class speed. Another guy may be able to go 10.3. NFL guys always love to exaggerate the skills amd speed of fellow NFL players to subjectively project them as the best athletes ever.

Tyreek Hill has world class speed. You can see it on the field, he's a lot faster than all his teammates. Every 4x100 in the Olympics is going to have 4 Tyreek Hills., the Chiefs only have one.

Are we pretending that 10.1-10.2 is "world-class" speed? I'd personally love to see Tyreek Hill (4.2X 40), John Ross (4.22 40), Marquise "Hollywood" Brown (4.2X 40) and Marquise Goodwin (4.27 40) compete in a 4x100. The Chiefs squad would be a complete disappointment, but if we gathered the four fastest players in the NFL, they might finish only 3 seconds behind Team USA. Of course, they are far more likely to DNF.

10.06 made the final last Olympics, so yeah, I'd call 10.1 world class.

10.0X is definitely world-class speed, but any time beyond 10.1 will never be world-class again.

Really wished Coleman had shut tf up the football idiots who think that receivers are faster than sprinters by destroying the 40 yard dash record. Guess not, footballtards will go on thinking that their sport is faster I guess

10.20 made the semis

You mean Team USA is more likely to DNF? I would put money on those NFL players. They know how to work as a team, Team USA does not, thus all the recent disappointment in relays.

That 4x1 wouldn't come close to an olympic final. You have maybe a 10.1 guy and then a 10.4. The other two are like 10.7-8s. That wouldn't even make the ncaa final.

10.20 WITH testing for PEDs. That might be a stumbling block for the NFL guys where testing is in name only for the most part.

Minnesota Vikings around 1991 had Herschel Walker & Darrin Nelson, both F.A.T. sub-10.3 100m men. I am sure Vikings had a couple other sub-11 100m guys on roster that season. Only legit sub-10.3 guy K.C. Chiefs have is Tyreek Hill.

They would get dusted in every P5 conference final. They're talking like 4.5 is fast? Didn't Christian Coleman run something stupid like 4 flat when he did it after winning his NCAA titles? Lots of other NCAA 100 meter runners could run 4.2, and a whooooole bunch could run 4.4/4.5... So a team made up of 4.5 40 yard dash guys would probably be 10.5-10.8 range for 100 meters. A 4x100 with that group would probably be around 40.5 seconds. So it is decent, but wouldn't do anything in the NCAA and wouldn't do anything at the olympics.

10.20 is definitely not a world-class time anymore. It's an excellent performance, no doubt, but it's unlikely to win at the NCAA Championships these days, and it's occasionally even too slow to place at NCAAs. In case you missed it, 6 NCAA D-I sprinters broke 10.1 in the finals last year, the slowest of which was 10.06.

Additionally, in 2019 there were 19 sprinters in the world below the 10-second mark; 54 below the 10.1 mark; 120 below 10.2. Obviously, the term "world-class" is entirely subjective, but in the world of track and field, anyone outside of the top 20 is unlikely to compete in a high-profile final.

10.06 was #44 in the world last year. Not all of them obviously made the final.

10.10 was #54

10.18 was #105

The Chiefs or an all NFL team wouldn't make the Olympic final which required 38.19 last time.

Exactly. The Olympics 4x100 final witnesses times between 36.X and 38.X, meaning the NFL squad would be way out of the picture and far out of contention even with the slowest team in the qualification heats, where Saint Kitts and Nevis (yeah, that's a country in the Caribbean) ran 39.81 for the slowest time of the Games.

Raheen Mostert (49ers running back) supposedly ran 10.15 in college and won Big 10 titles in 100, 200, and 60 (outdoor and indoor). Still, 10.1 is a long way from 9.8. And track guys playing football probably lose some of their pure speed. Was Bob Hayes still as fast when he was playing for the Cowboys as when he won gold? Just because he was a lot faster than anyone on the football field doesn't mean he would still have beaten the top sprinters in the world.

“If I were the Kansas City Chiefs, I would just come out firing,” Simms said in a quote provided by CBS. “They have the fastest group of wide receivers in the history of the NFL. It’s a track team. If they trained for the Olympics they could win a gold medal. I am serious when I say that, if that was their goal."

"Sammy Watkins had a 40-yard dash time of 4.43 seconds. Mecole Hardman ran a 4.33-second 40, Demarcus Robinson was timed at 4.59 seconds and Hill was clocked at 4.24 seconds."

Just more ignorant football to track stuff. Demarcus Robinson is slow for an NFL WR, so you can only imagine how much he would hold back any chance of this team. Tyreek Hill had his chance at World Juniors and he got 3rd in the 200 and a particularly bad 4th in the 100 completely faltering under the pressure (lost to Gemili by .24). He couldn't replicate his PBs or anywhere close when it mattered. Sammy Watkins has gotten slower over the years with his injuries. Mecole Hardman would be a run of the mill collegiate sprinter. This team could put up maybe 41 seconds.
