Former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens seemed pretty quick to show that he still has some NFL-level speed, even at the age of 46. Of course, nothing can make you look more pedestrian than running alongside NFL sprinter Tyreek Hill of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Hill quarterback, Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes, was impressed despite saying via Instagram that his receiver seemed to “hit the gas” by the end of the race.
Hill is tired of other players trying to claim the “fastest in the NFL” title. He made it clear during an interview on ESPN First take while calling a former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver.
“If these people really wanted to compete with me, they would send me a personal message on Twitter, on Instagram,” Hill said. “They didn’t go to Twitter and then they talked trash and they didn’t act. If you’re going to talk trash, at least (@) me.”
Host Max Kellerman asked Hill who “they” are.
“Marquise Goodwin, whoever it is,” he replied. “Whoever wants to compete with me, we can do anything. I already proved that I’m better than you at wide receiver. Now do I have to prove to you that I’m faster than you too? That really will hurt when I’m faster than you. And I move better than you? That is really going to hurt. “

San Francisco traded Goodwin to the Philadelphia Eagles on April 25, after three seasons with the team. He is a former member of the United States Track Team and an Olympic jumper. The receiver last year won the “40 Golden Yards,” a competition to determine the fastest player in the NFL. Although, Hill did not participate.
How are you going to have the fastest Man contest without Tyreek Hill lol

In 2018, reporters asked Goodwin about Hill, and who he felt was faster.
He replied, “I don’t compare myself to anyone, but I mean …”
Goodwin stopped, rolled up his sleeves, and showed off his Olympic rings tattoo.
Hill then bent over her First take comments, tweeting: “I said what I said.”
To update: Goodwin responded to Hill with the following tweet. The Chiefs catcher asked any challenger to serve him at @ @ on Twitter. It cannot be said that Goodwin does not know how to follow instructions.
The best routes for rookie NFL catchers: why CeeDee Lamb comes out, Brandon Aiyuk’s screen is unstoppable. It’s there in the title of Seth Walder’s latest feature for ESPN. “Unstoppable.” That word is high praise for a wide receiver, even if he’s only looking at a specific route in his arsenal. As the title of the ESPN feature suggests, the analyst took a look at 16 rookie receivers from this year’s draft class and identified the best and most productive routes from each over the past two seasons of college football. Walder also examined how everyone’s ability could contribute to their new NFL.
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has impressed fans during the offseason with his training regimen. He is preparing to lead his team through his “Legendary Revenge Tour” this season, assuming there is a season, and he has his sights set on a trip back to the Super Bowl. Below is a small sample of some of the videos that have made their way through social networks.

Each team hopes to surround their quarterback with offensive weapons good enough to help lead a team to a Super Bowl victory. Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers almost made it that last season with the arsenal at their disposal. ESPN’s Bill Barnwell recently went through the NFL and ranked each roster’s skill position talent, while noting that he wasn’t considering the impact of the quarterback, offensive line, or scheme. Only the weapons available to the quarterback. Neither the contract status nor the long-term values mattered because this is a rating for the impact of each group in 2020. Barnwell notes that
