3D simulation shows what a race between Noah Lyles and the fastest NFL player would look like

A 3D simulation has shown how Olympic gold medallist Noah Lyles would compete against the NFL's fastest player in a series of races.

Lyles claimed the title of the fastest man on the planet over the summer by winning the gold medal in the men's 100m final of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

The 27-year-old made headlines recently as he spoke out against athletes in American sports referring to themselves as world champions, claiming that is discredits other athletes like himself who compete internationally.

But how would he compare against the fastest plater currently competing in the NFL?

A 3D race simulation posted to the MotionAthlete YouTube channel shows exactly how Lyles would perform in a series of races with Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who is widely regarded as the fastest player in the NFL.

The first race that the pair compete in is the 40 yard dash, something that Hill, who has earned the nickname 'cheetah' regularly does while competing in the NFL.

Hill's best ever time for a dash is a blistering 4.29 seconds, but in the simulation he improves on this with a time of 4.27 seconds.

And according to the simulation, this is the exact time that Lyles sets, meaning that a photo finish would be needed to decide who won the dash.

However, when it comes to longer distances, the differences between Lyles and Hill become much more apparent.

Lyles set a personal best at the men's 100m event at the Paris Olympics, crossing the line in 9.79 seconds to claim the gold medal.

In the simulation he improves on this by one tenth of a second, with Hill clearly finishing behind with a time of 10.14 seconds.

The same goes for the 200m race, where Lyles recorded a time of 19.35, with Hill nearly a second behind crossing the line in 20.25 seconds.

Last year, Lyles' comments regarding American sports stars calling themselves world champions was met with fierce opposition from athletes competing in the NFL and NBA.

“You know the thing that hurts me the most is that I have to watch the NBA Finals and they have ‘world champion’ on they head. World champion of what? The United States? Don’t get me wrong, I love the US – at times – but that ain’t the world,” Lyles said.

“We are the world. We have almost every country out here fighting, thriving, putting on their flag to show they are represented. There ain’t no flags in the NBA.”
