'It has to be legit' - Noah Lyles sets condition for showdown against NFL star Tyreek Hill
Olympics 100m champion Noah Lyles has given a hint that he could race against NFL star Tyreek Hill but on his own terms.
While six-time world champion Lyles hinted on the date to race Hill, compatriot Holloway informed the three-man bench that Metcalf is already on his fantasy team and needs to keep doing his best in the NFL to stand a chance of a showdown. "D.K., you probably don't know me, I'm a huge fan. You're on my fantasy team, so keep doing your thing," Holloway said.
"If Noah's gonna do Tyreek... look, I'll take the undercard with you. I think it'd be good," Holloway replied to Lyles when quizzed on if he would consider racing Metcalf in the 40m dash.

'That's the main thing' - Grant Holloway reveals priority achievement rather than chasing the 110m hurdles world record
American sprinter and hurdler, Holloway, has not given a thought to breaking the world record but maintains that consistency will get him there.
Metcalf is an American professional football wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks of the NFL. The 27-year-old played college football for the Ole Miss Rebels. Born and raised in Oxford, Mississippi, Metcalf played football at Oxford High School and at the University of Mississippi, also known as Ole Miss.
He played at Ole Miss for three seasons before declaring for the 2019 NFL draft, where he was selected by the Seahawks in the second round. Metcalf has one All-Pro selection and has been named to the Pro Bowl twice.
Racing non track stars is becoming a common thing after the Paris Olympics. Lyles raced YouTuber IShowSpeed on November 7 and he proved it against one of the most popular streamers in a 50-meter dash.
