Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Devon Allen just ran the fourth fastest 110M hurdle time in the world and now says he’s the fastest player in the NFL.
“I definitely am,” Allen told TMZ Sports recently when asked who is the fastest NFL receiver.
Allen had this to say when asked about the Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill and Seahawks’ DK Metcalf in regard to their claims of being the NFL’s fastest.
“I’m not gonna roast those guys because what they did was impressive,” Allen said, “I raced Tyreek Hill when I was in high school. We raced and he smoked me when we were in high school, and DK Metcalf ran a 10.3 a couple years ago is super impressive for a guy that’s 6’4″, 6’3″, 225 [pounds]. But I think especially at the top level—top five, top 10 in the world—there’s a big gap in terms of just performance.”
The three-time U.S. national champion and two-time Olympian will soon transition back to gridiron as he attempts to make the Eagles’ 53-man roster.
