“They’re Getting Smoked!” – Top Coaches Humiliate NFL Speed Hype Ahead of Tyreek Hill vs. Noah Lyles Race
Brace yourselves: the NFL’s fastest man might be in for a rude awakening.
As the internet buzzes with excitement over the much-hyped sprint battle between Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles and NFL superstar Tyreek Hill, legendary track minds are calling it early—and it’s not looking good for the gridiron speedsters.
Track coaching icon Mike Holloway, sprinting legend Justin Gatlin, and performance guru Rodney Green have all come forward with one explosive claim: NFL athletes simply can’t hang with real sprinters.
“Football training leaves players blind to real speed,” Holloway said bluntly on the Ready Set Go podcast. “Strength coaches don’t even realize they’re failing their athletes.”
His jaw-dropping example? Panthers star Christian McCaffrey secretly does sprint training after everyone else leaves practice.
“He waits ‘til they’re gone and does actual track workouts. That’s how he stays the fastest. It’s not magic—it’s just smart,” Holloway revealed.
Gatlin didn’t hold back either. “Even Tyreek Hill knows the truth. He still trains like a sprinter—blocks and all. He gets it,” said the former 100m world champ.
Rodney Green took the critique to the next level: “You can’t build speed in the offseason if you never trained like a sprinter to begin with. These NFL guys grew up running track. That’s their edge.”
While Hill is dubbed “The Cheetah” in the NFL, Lyles’ world-class sprinting pedigree comes with an unmatched weapon—technical mastery forged through years of elite coaching.
“If NFL coaches want real speed, they need to stop guessing,” Holloway concluded. “Do what the fastest guy is doing. That’s track. Period.”
As the race nears, one thing is clear: raw NFL speed may be flashy—but it’s not elite. The showdown might not be a close call… it could be a humbling moment for football fans everywhere.
