Even though he did not pursue that said opportunity, he has always stayed close to the NFL world. He is a true fanboy for the Packers but he respects the grind when he sees it. His interview back in 2020 made rounds all over the internet when he showered praise for the Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.

Bolt was heartbroken after the Packers‘ loss against the 49ers in the conference championship. The 49ers were about to face the Chiefs in the finale, and he discussed how he felt in the interview pre-game.

Bolt was definitely rooting for the Chiefs as the 49ers had defeated his team. He wanted revenge and he knew Mahomes had what it takes to win in the final.

Bolt’s “rivalry” with Tyreek Hill

Being labeled as the ‘Fastest Man Alive‘ comes with several challenges. One of them being, constantly challenged by NFL players in a run-off. Tyreek Hill has challenged Bolt several times in a race and claimed that he could beat him in a heartbeat. Tyreek recently appeared on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast and threw shades on Bolt yet again. They have gone back and forth for the challenge, but it’s only over the internet.

Usain Bolt still enjoys NFL very much and has been a constant topic of discussion in the league. Even though Tyreek has won a few medals and claims he is faster than Bolt, the latter has been doing it for years and has been at the top of his field. And let’s not forget about the age gap between the two. Tyreek is regarded as the fastest player in NFL but Bolt beats him by a mile. But, if there was a face-off between the two, it would be a sight to see.
