Tyreek Hill and Noah Lyles have been going back and forth about a potential race, with Hill saying he would win and Lyles saying he wouldn't even put his Olympic gold medal on the line. Hill has since challenged Lyles to a 50-yard race, but Lyles says he won't compete in any race with Hill that uses yards as a unit of measurement.

Tyreek Hill: "I would beat Noah Lyles in a race
Hill, a wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, ran track in high school, where his best 100-meter time was 10.19. Lyles, an American track star, just won the 100-meter final at the Paris Olympics by a photo finish at 9.79.
Lyles said he wouldn't put his medal on the line even if Hill wagered his Super Bowl ring, which he won with the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2019 season.

"I don't want a Super Bowl ring," Lyles said. "I'm very, very content with my Olympic medals."
Hill responded by saying he would beat Hill in a race in an interview on the "Up and Adams" show earlier in August.

"I'm not going to put my Olympic gold medal on the line, but I would race him for a charity," Lyles said. "I would race him for a million dollars. I would race him for a dollar. I don't care what it is. I'm going to beat him."
Hill then challenged Lyles to a 50-yard race in a response on Twitter to a video of Lyles criticizing Hill in an interview on the "Club Shay Shay" podcast.
"Sign the contract and lock in that 50-yard race…." Hill wrote in the post.
However, Lyles also told Patrick Tuesday he won't compete in any race with Hill that uses yards as a unit of measurement.
"I'm not going to race him in yards," Lyles said. "I'm going to race him in meters. That's what I do. I'm a sprinter. I don't run yards."
It remains to be seen if Hill and Lyles will ever actually race, but it's clear that there is no love lost between the two stars.
