Noah Lyles accuses Tyreek Hill of ‘chasing clout,’ Dolphins star responds with 50-yard race challenge

The ongoing feud between Tyreek Hill and Noah Lyles has another chapter.
Lyles, the world-class sprinter who won the 100-meter dash at the 2024 Olympics in a photo-finish, accused Dolphins star Tyreek Hill of using his name for clout in a recent podcast appearance.
Then, Hill, in an X post Sunday , challenged Lyles to a 50-yard race to settle their debate.
The back-and-forth dates back to when Lyles claimed that Super Bowl champions — which applies to Hill after his 2020 title with the Chiefs — shouldn’t be able to label themselves as world champions.
That led to the most recent twist, when Lyles appeared on “Nightcap,” a show hosted by Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, and said of Hill, “If he’s serious about it, not just talking on the internet … if you’re serious about it, you’ll see me on track.”
“ Tyreek is just chasing clout ,” Lyles added. “The man — anytime somebody fast comes up, he says he wants to race them. If he really wanted to race people, he would’ve showed up, like DK Metcalf.”

Hill replied by challenging Lyles to a race, imploring him to “sign the contract and lock in that 50 yard race.”
The five-time All-Pro, who led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards last year, has also been a competitor in Lyles’ sport, as Hill won the 60-meter sprint at the USA Track and Field Masters Indoor Championships last year in just 6.7 seconds.

He was also a state champion in high school and an All-American in the indoor 200-meter dash while at Oklahoma State, according to NFL.com .
At the Olympics, Lyles largely trailed for most of the 100-meter race — before notably winning by 0.005 — and was behind rival Kishane Thompson for the first 90 meters before winning gold due to his closing speed.
If you really had covid, I'd be surprised the powers that be would have let you even participate in the 200m. I hope your self-centerness doesn't cause any of the medical team your were huffing and puffing all over doesn't get sick. People have DIED contracting this virus. l've personally lost a family member. It's very suspicious to me that you didn't bother to tell anyone until AFTER the race. Thank God you've pulled out of further competition so you won't infect other peopleIf you really had covid, I'd be surprised the powers that be would have let you even participate in the 200m.
