Tyreek Hill and Noah Lyles are set to go head-to-head in 2025 as part of the “Super Serious On Sight” series, hosted by Terry Crews and his crew. This exciting showdown will be part of Duel Competition, a new track league that features elimination-style tournaments where Olympic racers face off against other pro athletes. After months of speculation, playful back-and-forth, and a whole lot of trash talk, it’s finally happening! Fans are buzzing with excitement to see Tyreek and Noah take to the track!

The drama between Noah Lyles and Tyreek Hill ignited after the Paris Olympics when the Miami Dolphins star took a jab at Noah, asserting his claim to the “fastest man” title. Initially, Noah remained quiet, but as Hill continued to provoke him, he eventually fired back, questioning Tyreek’s seriousness about the challenge and labeling him a “clout chaser.” Hill didn’t take that lightly and responded with a bold challenge for a 50-yard race, even adding the classic line, “Sign the contract.” However, Hill’s attempt to play mind games with Noah didn’t quite pan out in his favor.

So, will Hill actually win? Veteran athlete Rodney Green doesn’t think so! On the latest episode of the Ready Set Go podcast, he shared his thoughts after Justin Gatlin asked him about Hill’s chances. It sounds like Green is pretty confident in Lyles!

During a recent podcast, Justin Gatlin inquired about Noah Lyles’s upcoming plans. It turns out that Noah has some exciting developments this week, as Noah has officially signed up for this event. While the distance and location of the race remain unknown, both athletes have signaled their intention to compete. This sets the stage for a thrilling showdown that fans are eagerly anticipating.

Rodney Green shared his perspective on the significance of this race. “I think it definitely brings a lot more eyes to track and field,” he noted, emphasizing its potential impact on the sport. While football remains the “number one viewed athletic presentation in the world,” Green believes that this event could elevate track and field’s visibility.

As for the race outcome, Green was clear in his opinion. “If they race 50 meters, Tyreek doesn’t have a chance,” he declared, reinforcing his confidence in Noah’s abilities. However, he also added a caveat: if the distance extends beyond 50 meters, Tyreek might have a better shot. “The real deal has a chance,” he said, indicating that while Noah might dominate in shorter sprints, a longer race could level the playing field. As the event approaches, all eyes will be on these two athletes to see how it unfolds! Given Tyreek’s background as a former track and field athlete, fans can still hope for an exciting performance from him, regardless of the outcome!

Tyreek Hill’s journey from being a track star to football sensation with a medal collection to rival Noah Lyles

Tyreek Hill has quite the track background himself. He won two medals at the 2012 World Junior Championships—gold with the American team in the 4×100 relay and a bronze in the 200-meter dash. His time of 20.14 seconds in the 200 would have qualified him for the Olympic Trials that year, but he didn’t end up competing. He also had his sights set on the Tokyo Olympics, but the games were delayed due to COVID-19, and he ultimately didn’t participate.

Then in 2023, Hill won the 60-meter race at the USATF. On the flip side, Noah Lyles has been making waves in athletics as well. He snagged two medals at the Paris Olympic Games—a gold in the 100-meter race and a bronze in the 200-meter, bringing his Olympic medal count to three.

Adding to the drama, Lyles revealed he ran the 200-meter with COVID-19, collapsing after finishing. He chose to keep his diagnosis private because he didn’t want to scare his competitors or give them the idea that they had an edge over him. His determination and resilience are setting the stage for an exciting rivalry with Hill, and fans can’t wait to see what happens when these two athletes finally face off in their upcoming race!
