Reply to comment by jimmylstyles in Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill wins 60-meter race at USA Track and Field Masters Indoor Championships by BCLetsRide69

Can we just agree he is really fast but not even close to being worlds fastest?

We can agree he is really fast in the same way that Boston college has a good basketball team.

A high schooler ran 6.59 today in Boston. 4 high schoolers broke 6.70 in Boston in the final and semi final.

Does Boston college have a good basketball team? Well nowhere as good as the Celtics, but better than most every high school team?

He's exceptionally fast for a football player.

That's an important and meaningful distinction here, because certain characteristics that are necessary to play football will also necessarily make you a slower sprinter. He's not a world-class track sprinter because track sprinting isn't his primary focus.
