Tyreek Hill and Noah Lyles calling out each other
Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill is in his best shape to race Noah Lyles after clocking his fastest career time in Los Angeles.
The highly anticipated race between world’s fastest man Noah Lyles and Tyreek Hill will be one for the ages after the NFL star clocked a new Personal Best (PB) in his first 100m race since 2014 at the Last Chance Sprint Series in Los Angeles.
The Dolphins wide receiver powered to an impressive legal time of 10.15s (1.2) to break his PB set way back in 2012 when he was 18 years old. It was also his first official 100m race since 2014.
He obliterated the field in Los Angeles as Assani Hampton finished second in 10.26s, while Martinez was third in 10.66s.
Shortly after his brilliant performance, Hill brought out a written note with the inscription “Noah Could Never” in retaliation to Lyles as a response to him “Tyreek Could Never” after winning Lyles won his 60m race at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix.
Lyles then backed up his message during a post-race interview: “Hey, when you’re ready to actually put some words down and you’re actually ready to race, see me. I’m right here, I ain’t going nowhere, but all I know is your football season is over, you ain’t got no excuse now,” said the Olympic 100m champion.

Noah Lyles and Tyreek Hill’s Beef
In August 2024, after Lyles blazed to the 100m gold medal in Paris, Hill said he could beat Lyles in a race — “Sign the contract and lock in that 50-yard race.”
The Miami Dolphins star initially challenged the world 100m champ during an interview with Up & Adams on Aug 12, saying, “I would beat Noah Lyles [in a race]. I wouldn’t beat him by a lot, but I would beat Noah Lyles.”

Lyles will then respond to his claim during an appearance on the Nightcap podcast, adding that he was skeptical about the seriousness of Hill’s claim.

“He’s challenging me to race in the 100? We can race,” Lyles said. “If he’s serious about it, if he’s truly serious about it — I’m not talking about, you’re just talking on the internet and you ain’t actually coming to me and talking to my agent and saying let’s set something up — if you’re serious about it, you’ll see me on the track.”
Meanwhile, Hill feels he’s “got to do this for the guys that play my sport” and showcase that NFL athletes “did run track at some point, and we can come and take over your sport at any moment if we really wanted to.”
Noah Lyles and Tyreek Hill agree to race each other
After months of challenges and online jabs, the sports stars finally agreed to race each other this spring or summer, just before the US Championships in July, although the venue is still to be determined.
According to PEOPLE, they will finally bury the hatchet in a race, and Hill’s performance in LA shows he’s been doing the work to be in the right shape for the showdown.

Lyles is yet to kick off his outdoor season, and when he does, fans will be expecting him to go lower than 10.15s if he’s to stand a chance against Hill.
