Cowboys’ 99-Yard TD Hero Challenges Tyreek Hill for ‘Fastest on the Planet’ Pass

Some people’s egos operate on a completely different level. It gets bad faster than lightning, and once it does, they will go to great lengths to fix it. Remember when Noah Lyles, the 2024 Olympic sprint gold medalist, called leagues like the NBA and NFL? Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill was so offended that he challenged the world’s fastest man to drive him. And was so sure he could beat him. Classic ego move! Tyreek is certainly one of the fastest in the NFL, but he should have just slowed down a bit here.

Now there is someone else to get on Hill’s nerves. And this time it’s someone from his sport, Cowboys WR KaVontae Turpin. The Cowboys got everyone talking after their recent win against the Commanders. Every time you bet against them, they make sure you lose. In the Cowboys’ 34-26 win, Turpin was the game-changer. The Louisiana native ran 99 yards for a kickoff return touchdown and it had everyone’s jaws on the floor. And what does Turpin think of all that? Well, he said, “I’ve always said I’ve always been the fastest person on this planet. That’s how I feel.” It looks like Tyreek has one more competitor to race against.

Turpin hit a top speed of 21.35 miles per hour on his 99-yard touchdown return. After the win, the Cowboys WR said people have thought he’s just babbling when he says he’s the fastest man in the NFL. Think we all owe him an apology for underestimating him.

Former Kansas City star Tyreek Hill held the title of fastest in the NFL for a while. That’s why he didn’t hesitate to say that he wanted to beat Noah Lyles, the six-time world sprint champion. But you know, even the greatest kings must leave the throne when the time comes. It looks like KaVontae Turpin is more than ready to claim the ‘fastest in the NFL’ throne. Tyreek Hill may not be happy about it, but he must be relieved after the recent charges against him were dropped.

Good news for Tyreek Hill

When Tyreek Hill says he’s the fastest man, he means it. He makes sure he is the fastest on the field as well as off it. But it didn’t sit well with him a few months ago when he was speeding in his luxury car. Back in September, the Dolphins had a game against the Jaguars at their home field, Hard Rock Stadium. Hill was driving to the stadium for the game when police pulled him over for a traffic stop and took him out of his car. The Dolphins WR ended up being handcuffed and charged with speeding and not wearing a seat belt.

A police bodycam video of the incident went viral soon after. In the video, the police can be seen handcuffing him after pushing him to the ground. People shared it all online. Even though Hill played that night against the Jaguars and led the Dolphins to a 20-17 victory, he still received a lot of backlash from netizens. The Dolphins WR had to appear in court today for the case.

After that, the officers who caught him failed to appear in court today. As a result, the charges against him were dropped. That must be a relief for him. The Dolphins star now has all the time to focus on the upcoming game against the Packers.
