“Never racing again had me out there looking wild,” the All-Pro receiver tweeted afterward.
Tyreek Hill, a native of Douglas, Georgia, was a talented track athlete in high school before deciding to pursue a career in football. Since then, he has developed into one of the NFL’s quickest and most productive receivers of the last 10 years. On Saturday, Hill demonstrated his speed and track prowess to the fullest in what will probably be a one-time appearance in track and field competition.
