Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, will host the Pro Bowl on Sunday. In the Pro Bowl Skills challenge, Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons beat Tyreek Hill, Nick Chubb, Trevor Diggs to win Fastest Man Race. However, he was too modest to acknowledge his victory, even after defeating the fastest player in the league.
Recently, Cameron Wolfe stopped by Micah Parsons’ practice for a quick chat. Having defeated Tyreek Hill in the skills challenge, Wolfe asked him how he felt like the fastest player in the league. Parsons replied, “I’m keeping a humble mind, as you know……. I give it to Tyreek; he wasn’t running full speed.”

Parsons humbly accepted that he only won because Tyreek wasn’t running fast enough. He knows Tyreek is the fastest player in the NFL, and the only reason he lost was that he wasn’t running fast.
Micah Parsons is faster than Tyreek Hill?
Tyreek Hill, the wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, is currently the fastest player in the NFL. Tyreek clocked 4.29 seconds in a 40-yard dash at West Alabama’s Pro Day in 2016. In addition, the 2020 NFL season saw him run at a top speed of 22.64mph. Nevertheless, Tyreek lost to the Dallas Cowboys linebacker Parsons in the Fastest Man Race. So, is the ‘lion’ faster than the ‘cheetah’?

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parson was crowned Fastest Man at the Pro Bowl Skills Showdown. Parsons edged out Browns running back Chubb, with his Cowboys teammate, cornerback Diggs came in third. Despite winning the challenge against Hill, Parson said to ESPN’s Lisa Slaters, “I know he didn’t come out to give his best…. He’s the fastest man in the league.” Moreover, he admitted he isn’t the fastest player in the league, and he is happy to be somewhere in the middle. However, he also mentioned, “I do want a Madden 95 speed, though.”

There is no contest regarding who is faster between Parsons and Hill. Nonetheless, the Cowboys linebacker remains ambitious; thus, we’ll have to wait and see how things play out.
