The 2024 Paris Olympics have kicked off, and the excitement is buzzing everywhere. And just like everyone else, NFL stars were waiting for the start. The Miami stars were found to reveal their best Olympic game, imagining themselves on the grandest stage. From swimming to sprinting, each of the Dolphins’ stars mentioned their best game in the Olympics. Track and field was the best choice for Jaylen Ramsey, De’Von Achane, and Ethan Bonner. But the biggest surprise came from Tyreek Hill. 

“I ain’t doing nothing of that, I’m doing fencing.“, said Tyreek Hill. So, what’s the issue about him choosing to fence? Well, the Dolphins’ WR is known for his blazing speed on the gridiron, which makes him a predator on the track and field. In addition, Hill was found to reach a top speed of 23.24 mph as the Dolphins’ WR, which further proves his dominance as a runner. But it’s not only the rush records as a WR that justifies his sprinting ability.

Tyreek was a pro runner at Oklahoma State University, too. As evidenced by his personal bests of dashing through 200 meters in 20.14 seconds, so he was expected to choose track and field as his dream Olympic game. In addition, Hill’s 6.7 in 60M at the USATF Masters justifies his experience in track and field. But that’s not all.

Miami’s ‘Cheetah’ also has the titles of Big 12 Indoor Freshman of the Year and All-American honors in the Indoor 200-meter dash. Being a natural sprinter, why did he ‘reject’ track and field?

Well, it might not be as surprising for some. Track and field was a common choice for his teammates too, and seems like Hill wanted to try something new. Furthermore, fencing was not the only Olympic game that Tyreek talked of.

Tyreek Hill’s views on Flag Football

Hill’s Twitter post from 22nd July talked of his admiration for flag football as a great innovation for youths, “Love what the NFL doing with this flag football with youth”. Now, why did he express his interest in flag football? No, it’s not just because Flag Football is quite similar to the NFL.

The Dolphins’ WR has initiated the FLAG program for the youths in South Florida. In other words, he himself is supporting the growth of the innovative sport. Being at zero risk of injury, Tyreek has regarded flag football as the safest gridiron sport for kids. Furthermore, Hill has higher hopes for flag football.

The Dolphins’ cheetah wishes to represent his nation in the Olympics. His dream is to win the 2028 flag football trophy for Team USA, “Calling all NFL guys, let’s bring one home”. But 2028 is still far. Do you think Tyreek can represent Team USA in 2028 Olympics?
