Not Tyreek Hill, Noah Lyles’ Gold Medal Belittled by More NFL Players in New York Giants Star’s Favor

Noah Lyles just can’t catch a break. The 27-year-old Florida sprinter hauled one gold and one bronze at the 33rd Olympic Games, and yet, sporting celebrities from other domains seem to think he could be easy prey. Lyles didn’t quite manage the spectacle he’d hoped for in the French capital, and it looks like this has opened the floodgates to a plethora of jeering digs from a long list of NFL players.

Just days ago, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek “Cheetah” Hill dissed Lyles’ salt as a track and field icon and claimed he would beat the latter in a race if they ever went toe-to-toe. And now, another New York Giants star’s name has come to the fore who can possibly replicate the feat.

A post by Whistle on X from earlier today shows Giants players putting all eggs in their colleague’s basket as they claim receiver Malik Naber has what it takes to humble Noah Lyles in a head-on clash. Captioned, “We asked some Giants players if Malik Nabers could beat Noah Lyles in a race,” the post documents the comments by several New York football stars who have enormous faith in Nabers’ prowess.

A fellow wide receiver, Jalin Hyatt is confident that Noah would be left in the dust if the former’s teammate Nabers unleashed his inner speedster on the tracks. “Fo sho,” said Hyatt when asked if Malik could beat Lyles in a race. “He fast, I seen him run. But he’s not touching Malik, man. He not,” says Jalin firmly.
