Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill beats Noah Lyles' brother, Josephus, in 100-meter dash
It may not have been the Lyles he had in mind, but Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill still took down a Lyles on the track. The Dolphins' star wideout showed up at the ATX Sprint Classic meet in Austin, Texas on June 28 to run in the 100-meter preliminary dash, in which he finished ahead of Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles' younger brother, Josephus Lyles, with a personal-best time of 10.10 seconds. Hill finished fourth among the seven-runner heat and 0.10 seconds behind Lawrence Johnson for first place. REQUIRED READING REA: Tyreek Hill is tired of Dolphins narratives: 'Time to change who we are' The ATX Sprint Classic is the second known organized race in a matter of weeks for the 31-year-old Hill, who won the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.15 seconds at the Last Chance Sprint Series meet in Los Angeles, per NBC Sports. Noted by USA TODAY, the 10.15-second finish was a personal best for Hill. The five-time All-Pro First Team selection was scheduled to run against Noah Lyles, to determine who is the "fastest man in the world" but the race was canceled on June 16. According to USA TODAY, Noah Lyles said the race was canceled due to some "complications" and "personal reasons" that "it just didn't come to pass." Hill is set to enter his 10th season in the NFL, and fourth with the Dolphins.

Is IShowSpeed 'Ducking' Tyreek Hill or Would He Beat The NFL WR If They Raced?
Tyreek Hill has a new challenger. Soon after his race against Olympic gold-medalist Noah Lyles was canceled, Hill called out a new adversary, social media content creator IShowSpeed. Now, you might be asking why would Hill go from trying to race a world-class sprinter to a YouTube sensation? Maybe it's because Speed has accomplished something that Hill is still chasing — taking down a proven speedster. Two weeks ago, Speed successfully challenged Ashton Hall, a former Alcorn State 800-meter runner and football player, beating him four straight times in head-to-head sprints. In one of the races, Speed dusted Hall at the start so badly that he stumbled to the ground. Following the final race, Speed taunted Hall, saying, "Get the f--- out of here. That was embarrassing." Now, Hall specialized in middle-distance events throughout his collegiate career, so a short-distance, all-out sprint is not his forte. Still, it was convincing that Speed could beat a technically sound runner four straight times. Speed also put up a fight against the Paris Olympic 100-meter Champion, Lyles, in a 50-meter exhibition hosted by Mr. Beast in December of last year. He finished the race in 5.93 seconds, losing to Lyles by just 0.08 seconds. But, could Speed really beat Tyreek Hill, who's earned the nickname "Cheetah" because he's made a living dominating defenders on short-spurt, sprint-based routes throughout his 9-year NFL career? Hill certainly doesn't think so, and he wants to test his theory. "Speed is the fastest streamer," Hill said. "But, you still can't beat me — and stop ducking me dog. I'm waiting on my turn. I live in Miami just like you live in Miami. Let's go. Let's get this thing going." Speed has yet to respond to Hill, but if they were to race, would Hill win like he claims he would? Let's take a look. Back at the 2016 NFL combine, Hill posted an official 40-meter dash time of 4.29 seconds. The fastest speed that Hill has ever hit on a football field was 23.34 miles per hour during his rookie season in 2016. Nine years later, he was still able to post the third-best top-speed of any NFL ball-carrier during the 2024 NFL season at 22.01 mph. In June, Hill competed in the 100-meter event at the Last Chance Sprint Series meet in California, winning the race by running 10.15 seconds. At his most recent top speed of 22.01 mph, it would take Hill about 5.10 seconds to run 50 meters, which would put him well ahead of the 5.93 50-meter time that Speed recorded when racing Lyles. But, sustaining your top speed over 50 meters is unrealistic, so let's take Hill's 50-meter split for his 100-meter time, which would be, approximately, 5.80 seconds. That, too, is faster than Speed ran in his race against Lyles in December. However, he might have put some work in and shaved off a few seconds based off the way that he looked against Hall. But, has he done enough to be able to dust the Miami Dolphins' receiver? The answer is unclear, but if Speed does accept Hill's challenge, we could very well see a social media content creator push one of the NFL's fastest players to the finish line.

Tyreek Hill's hilarious reaction to Noah Lyles pulling out of race
The post Tyreek Hill's hilarious reaction to Noah Lyles pulling out of race appeared first on ClutchPoints. Miami Dolphins' wide receiver Tyreek Hill was scheduled to race Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles over the weekend of June 21. However, Lyles called off the race for personal reasons. Shortly after the race was called off, Hill shared a hilarious reaction on social media. Advertisement The 31-year-old wideout shared an image of Lyles' face photoshopped onto the famous meme of Homer Simpson of 'The Simpson's' backing into a hedge. Tyreek Hill shared the image, tagging Noah Lyles in the post, claiming it is Lyles' reaction after seeing Hill run the 100m in the previous weekend. On June 13, a video of Tyreek Hill running the 100m in 10.15 seconds at the Last Chance Sprint Series in California went viral. It was the first time the Dolphins' wide receiver ran the event since 2014, and he recorded a personal best. Hill is seemingly joking that Noah Lyles didn't want the smoke after seeing the clip of Hill running a 10.15 100m. Shortly after that race, Tyreek Hill trolled Lyles by posing with a piece of paper that read, 'Noah could never.' It was the eight-time Pro Bowler's way of getting back at Lyles, who posed with a similar message back in February after running in a 60m event. Noah Lyles did not reveal why he pulled out of the 100m race with Tyreek Hill. He did mention, though, that it was for personal reasons and complications. Hopefully, it's nothing serious, and the two can reschedule a race at another time during the summer. Advertisement These two have been at each other for quite some time now. It all started when Lyles called out professional athletes for calling themselves 'world champions' after winning a title in their sports league based in America. Lyles' technicality brought plenty of criticism, but Hill has been the most vocal about it. While Tyreek Hill continues to troll and call out Noah Lyles, he's still preparing for the upcoming season for the Dolphins. He hopes to bounce back from a down year after finishing the 2024-25 campaign with 81 receptions, 959 yards, and six touchdowns. It was the first time since the 2019-20 season in which Hill didn't surpass the 1,200-yard mark.

Noah Lyles' long-awaited race with Tyreek Hill canceled over mysterious ‘personal reasons'
Noah Lyles has shared new details on why his race with Tyreek Hill never happened. At the Sport Beach event in Cannes, France, Monday, the Olympic gold medalist revealed that the showdown with the NFL speedster was supposed to have happened this weekend in Times Square, but it fell through due to 'complications' and 'personal reasons.' 'We were very deep into creating the event. In fact, it was supposed to happen this weekend,' Lyles said. 'Unfortunately there were some things, complications, personal reasons that it just didn't come to pass, but we were full on. 'We were gonna have a big event, we were going to shut down New York Times Square and everything, we were gonna have all the billboards for the event, it was going to be a lot of fun.' Lyles, an American sprinter who competes in the 60-meter, 100-meter and 200-meter dash, won gold at the 2024 Olympics in the 100-meter sprint with a time of 9.784. He's widely considered the fastest man in the world, but that hasn't stopped Hill from claiming he could beat Lyles in a race. Noah Lyles is widely considered the fastest man in the world right currently. AFP via Getty Images There has been plenty of trash talk between the two over the past year about a potential race — and Lyles was adamant that it was going to happen, even if people doubted it would. 'A lot of people didn't believe it to be true. They thought it was just, 'Oh, this is just them talking online,'' Lyles said. 'We had to bring it to fruition.' Lyles said both the general public and potential corporate sponsors 'didn't believe it was real,' but that he took charge in an effort to make it happen. 'It's like, 'Don't worry, I'll take care of this. I know what to do. And it's not going to look to the point where it's staged. It's going to look right on the money, trust me,'' Lyles said. Even though the logistics for the event never fell into place, Hill is still challenging Lyles to a race. Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill celebrating a touchdown during a game in September 2022.

Lyles, of course, has proven that he can, with his 9.784 time at the 2024 Games in Paris. The exact complications and personal reasons for why the race never occurred are unclear. Hill was reportedly involved in a domestic disturbance with his ex-wife, Keeta, in April. Hill has a track record of off-field issues, which includes a domestic assault conviction in 2015 and a child abuse investigation in 2019.
