Each NFL team’s Olympic candidate

Kansas City Chiefs: Tyreek Hill, Speedskating

The speedster himself, it’s hard not to pick any other player besides wide receiver Tyreek Hill from the Chiefs. He exploded on to the scene last year as a rookie and only has continued to get better in his second year. Hill is arguably the fastest player in the NFL and if you blink, you might just see him blaze right past you.

I’m not sure even the Chiefs expected Hill to be this good early on. The fifth-round pick started on special teams as a rookie and quickly became a household name in the NFL. Frankly, they just tried to get his hands on the football as much as possible and it paid off. Hill finished his rookie season with 12 total touchdowns and earned first-team All-Pro honors. When the Chiefs got rid of Jeremy Maclin this offseason, many fans questioned if Hill could step up and be just more than a deep threat and he’s proven just that, if not more.

Hill has been even better this season, which was hard to think that was possible. While he hasn’t been as big of a threat in the return game, that’s for good reason. Hill’s talent has directly transferred over to wide receiver. He has already eclipsed over 1,000 receiving yards and continues to burn cornerbacks week after week. I’m not sure how you can stop him and one wrong step feels like 10 with how fast he is. After all, he did run a 4.24 40-yard dash at his Pro Day.

I’m not sure how you don’t put Hill as a speed skater in the Olympics. I mean, after all, it does have the word speed right in the name.
