There is a timed 40 yard dash at the combine, or a college's pro day, where they are running in shorts and pretty much nothing else (see Chris Jones) and then there is football speed, where they are running in full pads, with people trying to tackle them. Many people, including Chiefs coaches and players, opposing team's coaches and players, and commentators, have said that Hill is the fastest player they have ever seen on a football field. For me personally, I am 48 years old and have been watching football, and have been a Chiefs fan, for 42 years, and I have only seen two players who appeared to be faster than Tyreek on the football field, and those players are Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders. Jamaal Charles, Chris Johnson, DeSean Jackson, Darrell Green, and Randy Moss are also close, but I think Hill is faster in pads than all of them. And while I think that Bo and Primetime looked faster in pads, I don't think either one of them could reach top speed as quickly as Tyreek, especially after a change of direction. Tyreek Hill accelerates and hits his top speed faster than any player I have ever seen. Jackson and Sanders both had relatively long stride lengths, especially Sanders, and it took them a few strides to reach their top gear, but Hill is almost at top speed after his second stride. Think of the 70+ yard TD catch he had in New England last year. He turned back towards the LOS, elevated to make the catch, when his feet hit the ground he had a safety in position to make the play, and he had a fast McCourty already running full speed towards him from behind. Yet, he ran past the safety easily, and pulled away from McCourty, all after he had been in the air, came down and had to turn towards the endzone. That's world class acceleration.

Anybody that can’t see the fact that Tyreek is the fastest player we’ve ever seen on a football field needs to get their eyes checked.

what make Tyreek special is his ability to track and adjust to the ball in the air. That along with his elite speed makes him so nasty

Yes. There are probably many players who have been faster, straight-line speed. But Tyreek can accelerate, decelerate and change directions as well as Barry Sanders, but also can track the ball/find open holes on coverages as well as any WR in the league. He and Mahomes are the perfect match. |

Also he catches the damn ball.
It's an important part of the process. |

So is Hardman doing all ex-chief TD celebrations?
He did the Kareem Hunt sleeping celebration last week and the Berry arrow shot this week .. |
