While I would really rather forget that year even happened, I agree; the Chiefs have done a complete 180 from that season. They went from one of the most vanilla offenses to the most explosive offense ever. Life is good. [Reply]

Still think Hill would win.
One of the local host raced a Royals player at the airport a few years ago, but the host was able to use the running walkway lol.

Tyreek Hill really, REALLY wants to race @AdamSchefter in a 100 yd dash. He's willing to offer Schefty:
Actually if the money went to charity, I think Ty should do it. Even with a 50-yard headstart. I still think he wins that racer against Schefty. By about two strides or about 13 feet. [Reply]
"One thing that sticks out is my speed but I feel like there’s more to my game. I’ve worked my butt off ever since I came into the league to get me where I am today which is physical, jump ball receiver, good hands, can run every route, can run deep." @cheetahpic.twitter.com/ctEzszhOT4
I heard him say something this week; he mentioned that he was running around like crazy when he was growing up because he didn't like being hit.
It makes a ton of sense, and I'm thankful that's his mindset. He is always smart about stepping out of bounds at the right time to avoid the big hit. We don't need him getting injured or taking stupid hits for 2 extra yards.
Watching his '14 highlight vid from OSU in the OP, you can see that as a RB he would go down easily and was avoiding contact when possible. That would have been annoying as an NFL RB.
Thankful that the team coached him up to be the best WR in the game, and that he put the work in. [Reply]

It would take Tyreek 9.5-10.5 seconds to go 100 yards padded. I don’t think it would be too difficult for most grown men in decent physical shape to do 60 yards in less than 9.5.*
So, while Tyreek is blazing fast, the 40 yard head start would be hard to over come. [Reply]

Schefty isn't a young man. And watch that video; he's slow as dirt. Plus, that was from like two years ago? He's slower now. I doubt he could cover 60 yards in under 10 seconds.
Let's remember that Hill caught Damien Williams with a 10 yard headstart in what was about a 70-yard dash? And he could've caught him with a longer lead, and Damien is fast.
There's a trick to running fast that Schefty probably doesn't know or can't replicate, and that's if you try to run faster, it slows you down. The trick is to be able to relax as much as possible. Tight muscles work against you, shorten your stride and reach. Loose muscles lengthen your stride and reach, allow your body to flow better, use the rebound effect to greater advantage, create dynamic leverage to make you faster. Sprinters know and train to use that fact.
It might be close, but if they ran the race 10 times I'd expect Ty to win it at least 8. Of course, for Schefty it might take a couple days to run 10 races. He'd need a lot of recovery time in between.:-) [Reply]
Tyreek has a chance to tie Randy Moss for most receiving TDs in a season (23) if he were to average 2 over the next 5 games. He currently stands at 13. [Reply]
