Tyreek Hill and Noah Lyles are actually going to race each other — yes, really: ‘Time to end the debate’

Noah Lyles and Tyreek Hill are finally going to race.

In a potentially groundbreaking crossover event that promises to combine the worlds of track and field and professional football, American gold medalist sprinter Noah Lyles and five-time NFL All-Pro Tyreek Hill are set to face off in a head-to-head race.

According to People, the race is officially on in either the spring or early summer.

And both athletes have already started exchanging playful barbs on social media.

Lyles, renowned for his explosive starts and multiple world championship тιтles, has dominated the sprinting scene for years.

“This has been an ongoing thing for quite some time now, and I mean, everybody’s seen the back and forth on social media,” Hill, 30, told People after saying in August he could beat Lyles in a race. “I’ve been very adamant to show people what real, true speed looks like.”

The 27-year-old Lyles, who won the 100-meter gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics, recently called out Hill after winning a fourth straight 60-meter final at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, holding up a sign that read “Tyreek Could Never,” which was written on the back of his uniform number.

He even made it his profile pH๏τo on X.

Lyles then wrote on the site: “It’s time to end the debate.”

Aside from his 2024 honors, Lyles has also memorably won several gold medals at the track and field World Championships for the 100, 200 and 4×100-meter relay.

“I think it speaks for itself,” Lyles added of the sign. “Everybody says that they’re gonna be the world’s fastest, but when it comes down to it, you gotta be the winner every time, each and every time, and every time I show up to the biggest moments, I win.

“That’s why I’m the world’s fastest,” Lyles continued to People. “I did at the Olympics. I do it at world championships. I do it wherever it’s needed to be done. And if I gotta go down and, you know, beat up on Tyreek to prove that I’m the world’s fastest, then it’s gonna be done.”

Hill, in 2016 with the Chiefs, once topped out on a run during a game at 23.34 mph.

The location of the race is still to be determined, according to the report.
