If you thought Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill wasn’t serious about racing U.S. Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles, think again—he made it official on Sunday. Hill shared a clip of Lyles talking with former NFL stars Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson, and in true Hill fashion, he challenged Lyles to “sign the contract and lock in that 50-yard race.” But here’s the kicker: before that, Hill had a little run-in with the law and ended up in handcuffs! Yep, you heard that right.

Noah Lyles recently re-tweeted a video that was initially posted by Robert Griffin on X showing Tyreek Hill lying face-down as officers placed him in handcuffs. While Hill wasn’t arrested. However, the caption was in favor of Tyreek Hill, saying, “Tyreek Hill should not have been forcibly driven to the ground, handcuffed and handled so aggressively for a minor traffic violation heading into the stadium before the game. Period.”

Before the start of the Miamis season opener game, Hill had a short encounter with the police due to an incident that occurred very close to the stadium, for speeding. In response to this event, the Tyreek Hills team made a statement, on media acknowledging his brief detainment and explaining that it was just a minor traffic matter.

Representative Drew Rosenhaus from the Hills mentioned that the trouble began when Hill was pulled over for a traffic offense on his way to the stadium, initially receiving a ticket, for the violation of traffic laws. Things quickly escalated, resulting in him being restrained with handcuffs and subdued by law enforcement officers.

Although physically unharmed from the event, his mental state was deeply affected. Rosenhaus verified that Hill has always been a supportive individual of law enforcement and felt troubled about the turn of events. Yet Hill is determined to look and concentrate on Miami’s upcoming match against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This comes after a prior season where he topped the NFL charts with 1,799 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns. Despite their rivalry, it’s worth noting that Noah Lyles has shown support for Hill, adding an unexpected twist to their ongoing feud.

The world’s fastest man, Noah Lyles, sets conditions for showdown—No gimmicks, just the real deal

Noah Lyles, the world’s fastest man, will surely be ready to take on Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill, but he’s setting the terms. Lyles made it clear last week that he’s game for a race—only if it’s 100 meters and properly sanctioned. He’s not looking for gimmicks, stating, “You’re racing against someone who’s earned the title of ‘the world’s fastest man.’ If you want to challenge me, it has to be in my event.”

Tyreek Hill is really focused on the 50-yard dash and is eager to make it happen by putting out a challenge, “Sign the contract and lock in that 50-yard race.” On the other hand, Lyles is standing firm and sticking to his belief in his 100-meter speed and prefers races that showcase his capabilities. “I’m not here to do gimmicks,” Lyles stated firmly as he expressed his eagerness to showcase his sprint abilities within his comfort zone.

Lyles is eagerly anticipating the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. Looking forward to experiencing the same electrifying energy he felt in Paris on his home turf in the U.S.A. He believes that this upcoming Olympics could potentially be his most successful yet as he strives to excel as a sprinter on a global stage while playfully engaging with fellow athletes and sports enthusiasts along the way.
