During the episode, we learned a lot about the fastest wide receiver in the league today. Doing an interview with Hill, Kevin Hart had to ask about his speed. But what we learned was a shock to many. It turns out Hill has an impressive 40-yard dash record. But he is not the fastest in history.
What is the 40-yard dash record of Tyreek Hill?
Back in his junior high school years, Tyreek Hill used to run track. That might be the foundation for him becoming one of the fastest NFL players in history. Currently, he is the fastest in the league. But someone else holds the record for the fastest 40-yard dash in the NFL.
Kevin Hart asks Tyreek Hill about how fast he ran the 40-yard dash. Hill replied, “I run a 4.21.” Hart is shocked. He asks the Cheetah, what is the record for the 40? Hill says, “Bo Jackson, 4:15.” While explaining why he is so fast, Hill gave a shout-out to his grandma and her secret recipe. That recipe is the reason the fastest wide receiver in the league today is terrifying the defenses. If the athlete keeps on practicing his run, he might one day even beat the record set by the legendary Bo Jackson.
Who is Bo Jackson?
Hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, Bo Jackson is a former running back and professional baseball player. He played in the NFL from 1987 to 1990. Jackson was a part of the Los Angeles Raiders, who we better know as the Las Vegas Raiders today. Jackson is the only athlete in history to be an All-star in both football and baseball.
