Sharpe has adviced Tyreek Hill to forfeit challengin Noah Lyles, revealing the things he risks losing, including multi-millions.
Legendary former NFL star Shannon Sharpe has offered some blunt advice to Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill over his ongoing challenge to Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles for a 50-yard dash.
The back-and-forth between the two athletes has sparked considerable interest, but Sharpe, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and seasoned commentator, believes Hill might be biting off more than he can chew.
Noah Lyles, fresh off his success at the Paris Olympics where he won gold in the 100 meters and bronze in the 200 meters, has responded to Hill’s challenge with a straightforward condition: the race must be legitimate, with no gimmicks involved.

ATHELTICS Is Usain Bolt faster than the world's fastest dog? 3D simulation puts theory to test
After a simulation pitted Mbappe in a foot race with Bolt, the world's fastest dog, the grayhound, was also put in a race with the Jamaican legend.
Hill, who has a background in track and field, including a 200-meter time of 20.14 seconds at the 2012 World Junior Championships, has been vocal about his belief that he could beat Lyles in a sprint.
Hill’s track record is impressive—he won two medals at the 2012 World Junior Championships, including gold in the 4x100 relay and bronze in the 200 meters. Although he qualified for the Olympic Trials in 2012, Hill chose to focus on his football career instead.
His athletic prowess on the track resurfaced in 2023 when he won the 60-meter race at the USA Track and Field Indoor Championships, marking his first race since 2014. “Never racing again had me out there looking wild,” Hill joked at the time.
However, Sharpe, who ranks among the greatest tight ends in NFL history and has ventured into track and field commentary, sees the potential race between Hill and Lyles from a different perspective.

ATHLETICS Who is really faster? 3D simulation pits Kylian Mbappe racing against Usain Bolt and American Football star Tyreek Hill
A simulation has put Usain Bolt in a head-to-head race with Kylian Mbappe and Tyreek Hill to confirm who is actually the fastest.
On his Night Cap podcast with Chad Johnson, Sharpe warned Hill about the risks involved, particularly given Hill’s commitment to his football career.
“Noah is serious, Noah will race. It makes sense for him because he can make more in that one race. Reek cannot make $30 million in a race,” Sharpe remarked.
“There is more to lose than gain. He tears a hamstring, how long will he take to get back? He ain’t had to dig like this. That is a whole different ball game.”
Sharpe further suggested that Hill should wait until his NFL career is over before engaging in such a high-stakes race. “Once he’s done with the league, then he should race him,” Sharpe advised.
Sharpe also critiqued the idea that Hill could set the terms for the race. “You cannot challenge me on something and then set the terms on how you want to challenge me. If I challenge Steph Curry to a three-pointer competition, I cannot say that we will shoot from 12 feet.
“ You challenged the man to a competition!” Sharpe pointed out. “You cannot say that ‘I can bench press more than Aaron Donald’ and then say we are only going to do one rep of 35 pounds. If you challenge the man, you have to challenge what he does.”
To Sharpe, Hill should be content with being recognized as the NFL’s fastest man, a title that might soon be in question with the arrival of Xavier Worthy in the league.
“How about Reek just settles for being the NFL’s fastest man? That is also in question with Xavier Worthy now in the NFL. How about that?”
