Somebody between Tyreek Hill and Noah Lyles has to be ducking the other — and Hill is suggesting that it’s not him.

On Monday, the sprinter Lyles revealed that his 100-meter foot race against the NFL star Hill was supposedly meant to happen this past weekend in Times Square, but “complications” and “personal reasons” caused it to fall through.

Then, with a recent post on X, Hill made it known that it’s not “complications” on his end that canceled it, and that it was Lyles who backed out at the last minute.

“We were very deep into creating the event. In fact, it was supposed to happen this weekend,” Lyles said Monday. “We were gonna have a big event, we were going to shut down New York Times Square and everything, we were gonna have all the billboards for the event, it was going to be a lot of fun.”

But still, the event fell through.

Both Tyreek Hill and Noah Lyles have claimed they can beat the other in a foot race, yet the official faceoff continues to fall through.

The Dolphins wide receiver ran a 10.15 100-meter dash on Friday, then held up a sign that read, “Noah could never.”

Lyles, however, ran a 9.784 in the 100-meter at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. So, seemingly, he should have no reason to avoid racing Hill.

But even while the numbers suggest that he would lose, Hill has shown to the public that he’s fully invested (and confident) to race Lyles.

Lyles, who won gold at the 2024 Olympics in the 100-meter sprint, also competes in the 60-meter and the 200-meter.

He is widely regarded as the fastest man in the world.

As for Hill, he may be the fastest player in the NFL and may very well also be one of the fastest humans on earth — but it’s unclear if his football speed could really keep up with Lyles.

Though it feels like the race may never happen at this point, Lyles has been adamant in the past that it’s no joke. 

And if Hill’s trash talk is legitimate, then it sounds like he’s ready to go too.
