Robert Griffin III and Tyreek Hill in brutal social media spat as NFL star tells fired rival ‘ESPN I understand now’

MIAMI Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill and NFL star Robert Griffin III have gotten into a brutal social media spat.
Dolphins wideout Hill , 30, lashed out at Griffin, 34, after the ex-ESPN star made a bold sporting suggestion.
On Wednesday, Swedish Olympic pole vaulter Armand Duplantis, also known as Mondo, and Norwegian Olympic hurdler Karsten Warholm gave the 100-meter sprint a try at an event in Zurich.
Viral sensation Duplantis won with a time of 10.37 seconds – the same time that Seattle Seahawks wideout DK Metcalf managed at a 2021 track meet, as noted by Griffin on X .
The former Heisman Trophy winner then called out Hill, another former track star known for his straight-line speed, suggesting , “Mondo vs Tyreek Hill would feed families.”
However, it seems Hill, who has a personal best of 10.19 according to Yahoo Sports , took this as a jab.
Lyles recently claimed that if Hill was “serious” about racing and it wasn’t all merely “talking on the internet” then “you’ll see me on the track,” as per the Nightcap podcast.
The gauntlet was quickly picked up by Hill who responded , “Sign the contract and lock in that 50-yard race ….”
And while there have been no subsequent official updates from either party, Lyles did potentially hint at an upcoming announcement in an interview with The Spun .
“I’m done with the Olympics and I’m done racing for the season, but a few things have come up on my desk that makes me believe a very big competition will be happening sometime around March or April,” he revealed.
“A very unconventional project. We still don’t have all the details but so far it’s going very well.
“Maybe news about it will happen towards the beginning of October.”
Hill’s most recent track meet came in March 2023 when he competed at the USA Track & Field Masters Indoor Championships.
He won the 60-meter in a lighting 6.70 seconds.
By comparison, Lyles’ personal best in the 60-meter dash was a 6.43 run in February at the USATF Indoor Championships
His 100-meter gold in Paris was won with a career-best time of 9.79 seconds.
