After claiming his fourth straight 60m victory at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in February, sprint king Noah Lyles didn’t mince words. Holding up a bib that boldly read “Tyreek could never,” Lyles made sure the NFL world — and one Miami Dolphin in particular — got the message loud and clear. But Noah didn’t stop there. “I think it speaks for itself,” he said, doubling down in the post-race interview. “Everybody says that they’re gonna be the world’s fastest, but when it comes down to it, you gotta be the winner every time, each and every time, and every time I show up to the biggest moments, I win.” The target? Tyreek Hill. And the reply? See for yourself…
Tyreek Hill, the NFL’s resident blur, is known as “Cheetah” for his breakaway speed on the field. The same Tyreek who, after Lyles’ Olympic triumph in Paris, called him out for a 50-yard race. Since then, the banter has evolved into a full-blown rivalry. “This has been an ongoing thing for quite some time now,” Hill said, addressing the drama. “Everybody’s seen the back and forth on social media. I’ve been very adamant to show people what real, true speed looks like,” However, the track god listened. Soon after, both athletes confirmed that they would go head-to-head in a race scheduled for sometime in the spring or summer, ahead of Lyles’ appearance at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, which kick off on July 31. While the venue for the much-anticipated showdown remains undisclosed, the war of words between the two shows no signs of slowing down. Now, Cheetah’s claws are out.
On June 13, in a surprise appearance at the Last Chance Sprint Series in Los Angeles, Tyreek Hill didn’t just show up — he laced up. Competing in the 100m, he didn’t carry a chip on his shoulder. He carried a message in his hand: a paper that read, in bold, “NOAH COULD NEVER.” The crowd? Erupted. The message? Crystal clear.
