Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill issues open challenge to those trying to race him

Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill is in peak offseason form already.

Known as the fastest man in the NFL, it has become commonplace for current and former NFL players to challenge Hill to a race. Even Olympic legend Usain Bolt has tried to get in on the action. The latest to want the smoke from Hill is Seattle Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf.

TMZ Sports recently surprised Metcalf while touring the HQ for Nate Diaz’s “Represent” brand. He was first asked about Cowboys rookie LB Micah Parsons beating Hill in a race at the Pro Bowl.

“I mean (Micah Parsons) is pretty fast, but I thought Tyreek wasn’t trying that hard,” Metcalf said. “Who knows who is the faster person in the NFL.”

He was then asked whether he felt he could beat Hill in a race.

“Yeah. I can beat Tyreek in a race,” Metcalf said.

Word ultimately got back to Hill, who issued a challenge to both Metcalf and Bolt before ultimately issuing an open challenge.

While Hill and Metcalf have never lined up before, NFL Next Gen Stats simulated a race between the two and New York Giants QB Daniel Jones back in 2020. Hill came out on top in that simulation.

If a race does happen between Hill and Metcalf it’ll likely be later in the offseason. Metcalf recently underwent minor surgery to remove a screw from his foot and was still pictured in a boot when the interview with TMZ occurred.
