The wide receiver, who is currently with the Kansas City Chiefs, ran an incredible 4.21 seconds at the NFL combine, breaking Bolt’s previous record time of 4.22 seconds.
Tyreek Hill, a fellow American football player, set a personal best in the 100 meters with a timing of 4.29; while not quite as quick as a world-class sprinter, he came very near. It raises the question of what Worthy’s 100-meter time would have been. Nevertheless, Lyles defended his fellow sprinter on.
“Do we have to show the video of him running that time with jeans, no cleats, and no warming up?” the polarizing American athlete posted on social media. Just to let you know. Lyles was referring to the moment when Bolt attempted a 40-yard dash in 2019 in front of Super Bowl LIII. The iconic Jamaican athlete was requested to run the race on an artificial turf track, and he dominated it while sporting sweatpants and sneakers.
Though it wasn’t exactly what Lyles described in his denim jeans, you get the idea: despite not being warmed up, being in ideal sprinting conditions, or having t
he appropriate equipment, he lived up to his reputation. That wasn’t the end, though.
