Tyreek Hill recently stunned the football world by stepping back onto the track for his first official 100-meter dash since 2014, and let’s just say, he didn’t disappoint. Blazing through with a jaw-dropping 10.15 seconds, Hill reminded everyone why he earned the nickname “Cheetah.”
But even with that monster time, it wasn’t enough to catch Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles, who crossed the line at a crisp 9.784 seconds at the Olympics. Still, the bigger surprise came after the race, not from Hill’s legs, but from his mouth.
He delved into the growing rivalry between fitness influencer Ashton Hall and YouTube star iShowSpeed. He dropped an honest take that’s got fans debating timelines, turf speed, and what “real” sprinting looks like.
And if you thought Speed’s bragging rights were safe, Tyreek may have just shaken the table.
Tyreek Sounds Off on the Race
Right after his blazing 10.15 finish, Tyreek Hill took to TikTok, not just to flex his time, but to weigh in on a viral sprint battle that’s been heating up online: Ashton Hall vs iShowSpeed. And Hill didn’t hold back.
“If Ashton Hall loses a few more pounds,” Hill said, “he can actually beat Speed.”
Simple as that. In Hill’s eyes, Ashton’s got the raw tools, including the power, the drive, and the explosiveness. But there’s one thing dragging him down, literally: the extra weight.
“He’s got more power in his legs than Speed,” Hill continued. “But that weight is slowing him down. He’s not beating Speed like that unless he trims down a bit.”
Coming from one of the fastest men to ever grace a football field, that’s not just casual critique, it’s insight. Tyreek’s words didn’t just add fuel to the debate; they lit it up. Because when “Cheetah” says you’ve got potential, people listen. And when he says Speed’s still ahead? The whole internet wants the rematch.
Speed Still Has Something to Prove
Not long after his 10.15-second burner of a 100-meter dash, Tyreek Hill hit X with a fresh jab at iShowSpeed, daring him once again to line up for a real race. Hill’s post wasn’t just a victory lap; it was a statement. A subtle flex that said, “Catch me if you can.”
Speed, for his part, claims to have run a 10.5-second 100 meters. But here’s the thing. No official time, no certified clock, and no full video. Just a clip of him warming up and teasing, “I ran that ten point five… y’all see the proof later.”
That 0.35-second gap may not sound like much, but on a track, it’s a canyon, especially when you’re chasing a Super Bowl champ with track roots. Tyreek’s 10.15 wasn’t hand-timed or self-reported; it was stamped at the Grand Athletics Last Chance Sprint Series in Los Angeles. Real stage. Real clock. Real speed.
So while Speed’s got the confidence and viral energy, Hill’s got receipts. In short: Tyreek ran it. Speed said he did. And until we see the full footage, Hill’s challenge stands tall and fast.
