Tyreek Hill is certainly living up to his moniker ‘Cheetah’. The Miami Dolphins wide receiver has established his dominance in the NFL when it comes to speed and acceleration. Being as competitive as Tyreek Hill is, it is not easy impressing the speed demon, as even a world-renowned athlete like Usain Bolt failed to make a mark on Hill. However, a good athlete always plays on his strengths and Cheetah surely knows his limitations as he appreciated the rare skill of another talented WR in the league.
Tyreek Hill recently made headlines, competing at the USA Track and Field Masters Indoor Championships. The ‘Cheetah’ went back in time, showing glimpses of his college days, winning the 60-meter sprint. Hill ended with a 6.7-second time, barely missing the world record. However, Hill is not the only NFL athlete to excel in more than one sport, as a certain Buffalo Bills player drew attention to his basketball skills leaving even Tyreek Hill impressed.

The Buffalo Bills enjoy the services of one of the best wide receivers in the league. Stefon Diggs has been putting up numbers ever since joining the Bills in 2020. Paired up with an elite quarterback in Josh Allen, Diggs went for three straight seasons with at least 100 catches and 1,200+ yards. His work earned him three straight Pro Bowl selections while solidifying his place with the Bills.

“Bro tough,” a surprised Tyreek Hill commented in the video released by Bleacher Report.
Diggs happened to be in the company of NBA skills coach, Chris Joseph Brickley, during his time in New York. Stefon didn’t shy away from the moment, as he showcased his versatility out on the hardwood floor. The Pro Bowler had mastered all parts and parcels of the sport, pulling off fadeaways, three-pointers, pull-up jumpers and even dunking the basketball.

Back in 2022, Hill challenged legendary sprinter Usain Bolt to a head-to-head. During his appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s show ‘Club Shay Shay’, Hill went on to say, “He washed up. In a 40, I am definitely beating him. If there is a 40-yard dash I’m definitely beating Usain Bolt…now if we go 80 then he maybe has a chance.”
However, Usain Bolt was ready to clap back at Hill, as the latter lost in a sprint with Dallas Cowboys rookie Micah Parsons.

“He’s not ready, He got beaten by some linebacker! He ain’t ready for this!” said Bolt at the time.
Bolt and Hill have been engaging back and forth for a while now and with Hill entering the USTFM event, looks like the two might be ready to face off sometime in the near future.
