NFL star Tyreek Hill says he’s better than Patrick Mahomes, calls out Noah Lyles while claiming he could outrun the fastest man in the world
Tyreek Hill has never lacked confidence. But when you look at the Miami Dolphins superstar’s game, it’s not hard to see why. The five-time All-Pro and one-time Super Bowl champion led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns. At one point, Hill looked like he was on pace to break the all-time single-season receiving yardage record by topping 2,000 yards.
While Hill didn’t make history, he has some of the best chances to top the 2K-yard mark in the future. Even though he’s no longer playing with Patrick Mahomes, Hill hasn’t forgotten about his six-year tenure playing with the greatest quarterback of the modern era.
In fact, Hill believes he’s even better than his former quarterback, not at his own game but as a football player overall. Apparently, some of the NFL’s players agree, which is why he ranked first on the NFL top 100. But even that is a small sample size, it’s not like all players were polled, and coaches weren’t either. Still, Hill is buying the hype about himself.
Here was Hill’s response when asked if he’s a better player than Mahomes.
Gold medal Olympian Noah Lyles previously said championship winners of sports like the NBA are not world champions. While Lyles made these comments last August, and at the time, he specifically referred to the NBA Finals, Hill took the criticism to include the NFL’s Super Bowl winners, too.
But Hill also happens to be one of, if not the fastest players in the NFL. Recent 40-yard dash record-setter Xavier Worthy may have something to say about that too. However, Lyles is the biggest star on the track right now after winning gold in the 100-meter race for the United States.
