Hill challenged Bolt to a dash

The wide receiver Tyreek Hill is one of the fastest men ever in the NFL. But challenging Bolt to a race speaks volumes about the confidence he had in himself.

When challenging the greatest athlete of all time to a race, he spoke about Bolt being washed up while not being able to match him in the current scenario.

“Usain Bolt got out of the game for a reason, right?”

“He?s old, he?s washed up, and he can?t see me in 40 yards. Hundred-yard dash, yes, that?s what he do. But 40-yard dash, according to this, Usain Bolts, you cannot see me,” said Hill.

Even though it was not a normal 40-meter-dash, the speed skills challenge may have focused on the reflexes of both these athletes. However, there is no doubt that Usain Bolt is the fastest man on earth and the tables would’ve turned had they met on the track.
