Through out the week, fans have been buzzing for what was hyped as the most anticipated race of the season at the ATX Classic 100m prelims in Texas. The showdown? NFL speedster Tyreek Hill, the Miami Dolphins’ “Cheetah,” lining up against Josephus Lyles, the younger brother of Olympic 100m champ Noah Lyles. With Noah dodging a much-hyped 60m clash less than two weeks ago, all eyes turned to this rare gridiron-track crossover. The tension was electric, and Hill didn’t disappoint.
On Saturday, June 28, 2025, Hill blazed through his heat, clocking an impressive 10.10 seconds with a 2.7 wind assist, securing a solid 4th place. Lawrence Johnson took the win in 10.00s, while Josephus lagged in 5th with 10.25s. Fans online were quick to react, with one quipping, “Noah won’t race him so he beat his brother.” But the real heat came next. Will Noah step up to reclaim his family’s honor?

The chatter’s heating up. “There goes one Lyles, @LylesNoah, man, get it together, the honor of track is at stake here, don’t let us down,” a fan pleaded. Another jabbed, “Got cooked. He couldn’t win his series and plans to compete with Noah Lyles, who is an Olympic champion.” It’s clear the pressure’s on Noah to face Hill head-on. With Tyreek proving his speed, what’s next for this brewing rivalry?
