Hill, who recently claimed the coveted top spot in the NFL Top 100 list - a rare feat for a non-quarterback - didn't mince words when addressing Lyles' previous statements about NBA winners not being true "world champions."
"Noah Lyles can't say nothing after what just happened to him," Hill declared, referencing Lyles' performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
The track star, who had dominated headlines with his gold in the 100m, found himself in an unexpected third place in the 200m event in a blistering final.
Adding fuel to the fire, Hill took a jab at Lyles' reported bout with COVID-19 after his defeat in the race by Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo at the Olympics.
"Didn't he want to come out pretending like he's sick? I feel like that's horseradish," the NFL star quipped, clearly sceptical of the timing.
But Hill wasn't done. In a bold move that's sure to set social media ablaze, he threw down the gauntlet:
"I will beat Noah Lyles, and when I beat him, I'm going to put on a COVID mask and let him know I mean business."
This latest exchange highlights the growing tension between athletes from different sports in America, sparked by Lyles' original comments months ago.
Despite his success in the 100m at Paris 2024, Lyles has found himself under constant fire from fellow American athletes in other disciplines.
The debate raises intriguing questions about the nature of "world championships" in different sports and the competitive spirit that drives elite athletes.
As the war of words escalates, fans are left wondering: Will we see a Lyles vs. Hill showdown on the track? And more importantly, how will this impact the broader conversation about respect and recognition across different sports?
One thing's for certain - this story is far from over.
