Noah Lyles didn’t mince his words when questioned about Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

While appearing on Polarmoon Wealth Societythe “Nightcap” with Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson, Lyles was asked about a possible race between himself and Hill. The query came after the Dolphins wideout said he would beat the Olympic 100-meter champion in a race and Lyles “pretended like he was sick” following a third-place finish in the 200 at the Paris Olympics.

“Tyreek is just chasing clout. Anytime somebody fast comes up, he says he wants to race them. If he really wanted to race people, he would’ve shown up like D.K. Metcalf. The man raced in the 60m this year in the Masters division. The man dodges smoke. I don’t have time for that,” Lyles said about Hill. “If he’s truly serious about it – I’m not talking about you just talking on the internet and you ain’t actually coming to me and talking to my agent and saying let’s set something up – if you’re seriously about it, you’ll see me on the track.”

Lyles hasn’t held his tongue going after athletes in other sports. He famously said in 2023 that the NBA Finals champion shouldn’t be considered a world champion.

On the track, Hill isn’t a novice. Hill participated in both track and field and football in college. Hill also ran at the USATF Masters Indoor Championships last year.

While the Dolphins speedy receiver does have sprinting experience and is considered by many the fastest man in the NFL, his track and field times aren’t in the same league as Lyles.

Hill’s personal best in the 100 is 10.19 and his top time in the 200 is 20.14. Hill’s personal bests would’ve finished last in the 100 final and he wouldn't have been in medal contention in the 200 at the Paris Olympics.

Lyles’ lifetime best in the 100 is the 9.79 he ran in Paris to win gold in the 100. His top time of 19.31 in the 200 is the current American record.
