There’s no one that Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill won’t challenge to a race. This offseason he lined up against Chad Johnson and Terrell Owens. During training camp, he faced off with fellow Chiefs teammate Mecole Hardman. Now, Hill has called out a new potential challenger.
On ESPN’s morning show “The Get Up” Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill formally extended a challenge to ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter. Hill had previously challenged Schefter on Twitter, but now Hill has confirmed to ESPN’s Mike Greenberg that he wants to do a race with Schefter. Hill even says that he’ll give Schefter a 40-yard head start advantage and wear his full pads.

“You know what, man, I’m pretty scared. His form is already better than mine,” Hill said of Schefter. “I need to work on my form a little bit more, but yes. Schefty [Adam Schefter], man, post-COVID we need to get it in for charity or something like that. Let’s just have fun with it and roll it.”
Hill reminded Schefter of his challenge on Twitter after the show.

Hill is coming off a massive performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where he recorded 203 yards and two touchdowns in the first quarter. The speedy wide receiver reached a top speed of 21.09 MPH during that game according to NFL’s Next Gen Stats, placing him among the top 5 in the NFL in Week 12.
Schefter will have his work cut out for him in this race.
