Usain Bolt pokes fun at Tyreek Hill after KC Chiefs receiver issues challenge to race
Did anyone at the Pro Bowl have more fun than Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill?
It’s doubtful, because Hill clearly had a blast Thursday at the Skills Competition, then on Saturday went to the NHL All-Star Game that was also held in Las Vegas.
While there, Hill did a “Stone Cold” Steve Austin imitation, but before that was asked by ESPN’s Laura Rutledge about the “Fastest Man” race at the Pro Bowl Skills Competition. Hill didn’t win but explained why.
“C’mon baby, I’m a Cheetah, baby,” Hill said. “Cheetahs don’t lose to lions. I don’t want to show the world what I really got, because I’m saving it all for Usain Bolt. Really it’s like I’m baiting Usain Bolt to come out of retirement to race me.”
Last summer, Hill had challenged Bolt, the former Olympic 100- and 200-meter gold medalist, to a 40-yard dash race.
A short while later, Bolt was on “The Dan Patrick Show” and Patrick suggested Hill put up his Super Bowl ring against one of Bolt’s eight gold medals in a 70-yard dash race.
Bolt seemed to agree, but thought he could win a 40-yard dash, too.
Not long after Hill’s challenge Saturday, Bolt responded by making fun of Hill’s result in last week’s “Fastest Man” race ahead of the Pro Bowl.
Here is how Hill responded to that tweet:
It would be great to see this race take place at some point, perhaps as a way to raise money for charity.
