Chiefs’ Tyreek Hill had the two fastest recorded speeds in Sunday’s games

Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill is off to a fast start. Literally.

Hill had the two fastest recorded times in Sunday’s games, according to the NFL’s Next Gen stats. Hill sits atop the Fastest Ball Carriers category, which “shows the maximum speed, measured in Miles Per Hour (MPH), a player achieves on a given play when carrying the ball on offense (rusher, passer or receiver) or special teams (punt or kick returner).”

The NextGen stats only go back to 2016, but Hill has the top two fastest times ever recorded. He reached 23.24 mph on a 105-yard kickoff return against the Texans in 2016 that was called back because of a penalty.

Later in the season, Hill hit 22.77 mph while returning a free kick 86 yards for a touchdown against the Broncos in Denver.

Hill’s times were a bit slower Sunday, but they were still eye-popping.

During his 91-yard punt return that opened the scoring against the Chargers, Hill reached a top speed of 21.78 mph.

Hill then topped that on a 58-yard TD catch later in the first quarter when he was recorded at 21.95 mph.

Weird

[3rd&Long]

Very clever. I think I'd pay to see Tyreek take on Bolt with each in full football gear run a 40.

A cheetah too, full football gear.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Not accurate

[Nzoner]

That lone Chargers fan at 15 seconds of the td catch video LMAO

[Rain Man]

I like how they had the Cheetah versus a real cheetah versus a cheater (Rapist). I'm not sure how Bolt fits in there.

On things like this, I wish they would also include a normal person. Maybe use Rich Eisen or something since he's got recorded times.

And wow - real cheetahs are fast. If they could catch, it would change the game of football fundamentally.

[Rain Man]

Perhaps the most impressive part of the touchdown throw is that Patrick Mahomes II had about a quarter-second to see the receiver and throw the ball since Mitch Morse was useless on that play and let his guy run straight up the gut into Patrick Mahomes II.

That video is stupid - they took a cheetah's top speed and extrapolated it over 100 yards. They didn't allow any time for acceleration from a dead stop - which of course they don't know but they could at least try to estimate based on video. Lazy.

[Eleazar]

Multiplying a 40 time out to 100 yards doesn't give you the time a player could actually run 100 yards.

[suzzer99]

That too.

[Fire Me Boy!]

This was supposed to just a fun exercise, fellas. Calm down.

Hill is really fast, and he's a Chief.

[Eleazar]

Also, who really thinks that if you lined Hill and Raep up at one goal line, Tyreke would cross the goal line just barely ahead of Raep, as shown in that graphic?

Did they use his 40 time from when he was at the combine like 15 years ago?

[COchief]

I was curious about his actual 100 yard time so I did a search and found the below awesome video. The first race is great and he just destroys the field and the announcer genuinely shits his pants and is speechless for a few seconds..."oh my God, oh my God". You can hear the authenticity of his reaction in his voice. The second race I was initially like did I just see a white dude clown Reek in the 100 yard dash but don't think that is the case. (please don't belabor this point, just thought it was funny to see).

[Coochie liquor]

It would take Ben an hour to run 100 yards!
