Tyreek Hill foolishly claimed he would beat Noah Lyles in a race after hearing the gold medalist's Super Bowl remarks

Tyreek Hill is probably the fastest player in the NFL. That's undeniable. But when it comes to Olympic sprinters, nobody is scared of Hill's speed -- especially not Noah Lyles.

That's what made Hill's comments on Monday extra strange when discussing the Olympic gold medalist's criticism of American sports leagues calling themselves "world champions."

In an interview with Kay Adams, Hill was asked for his response to Lyles -- who left Paris with a gold medal in the men's 100m and a bronze medal in the men's 200m. In his response, though, it became clear that Hill forgot that Lyles won gold in the Olympics' marquee event and went on to claim that he would beat Lyles in a race.

He said:

Hill then said that he would beat Lyles in a race.

Again, Lyles absolutely can say something as the Olympic champion in the 100m. It seemed like Hill was focused on what happened in the 200m, but the event that Lyles won gold in earned him the title as world's fastest man.

Plus, if you're looking at the numbers, Lyles' time in Paris has Hill's best 100m time beat by nearly half a second. Lyles even bested Hill's wind-aided time of 9.98.

It's a race that Hill doesn't want to actually happen.
