Oregon speedster challenges Tyreek Hill to a race

Share this article:

It’s widely known that Tyreek Hill is one of the fastest players in the NFL. But can he keep up with the superstars on the track?

One of the fastest 100m sprinters in college track and field wants the opportunity to see if Hill can do just that. Oregon’s Micah Williams extended the offer to race Hill after he finishes his season with the Miami Dolphins.

Hill issued a response to William’s offer to race.

Williams had a sensational season for the Ducks last year, and is looking to continue to build upon his success. In the 100m, he ran a personal best time of 9.86 at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championship Preliminary meet. He also ran a wind-aided time of 9.83 at the Mt. Sac Relays.

Hill has a personal best time of 10.19 in the 100m that he set back in 2012. He also ran a wind-aided time of 9.98 in 2013. 

In the NFL, Hill has been a nightmare for opposing defenses. He’s caught 566 passes for 7863 yards and 66 touchdowns in his seven-year career thus far.

Only time will tell if the speedy receiver and former sprinter return to the track against the world’s elite.

I’m a sports journalist based in Florida and I’ve covered a couple of different sports so far early on in my career, but I love the sport of track and field and the art of running. Everyone has a story and everyone has a story worth telling. My prayer is that the stories of the great athletes of this sport are told, and that the sport grows to new creative heights, so that the sport gets the respect it deserves.
