Tyreek Hill is known for a lot of things in the NFL, but it’s hard to talk about his accomplishments without mentioning his speed.
Hill is one of the fastest players in the NFL, and his game-breaking speed has helped him haul in many deep balls throughout the years.
There have been other speedy receivers in the league (John Ross, for example), but speed alone doesn’t help a player succeed in the NFL.
Hill’s route running and overall sense for the game has also helped turn him into the receiver fans know and (mostly) love today.
Elite athletes have commented on Hill’s play style throughout his career, including Reggie Bush, who recently sat down with Robert Griffin III.
“I would have gave Tyreek a run for his money,” Bush said.

Bush was a tremendous athlete at the collegiate level, but his professional career didn’t quite take off as many had hoped.
He did run for over 5,000 yards in his NFL career, but considering he was the No. 2 overall pick, people expected more from him.
Regardless, Bush believes that his speed might have been on the same playing field as Hill’s, and could have beaten him in a race.
Considering he’s not in playing shape anymore, this race isn’t likely to materialize in the future, but it’s something to think about.
Hill has been known to offer races to fast people in the past and has even tried his hand against Olympic track athletes.
While he’s not quite as fast as Olympians, Hil certainly continues to be above average among NFL athletes.
