Tyreek Hill raced 46-year-old Terrell Owens in a 40-yard dash and it was surprisingly close

Fun story;
Tyreek Hill raced 46-year-old Terrell Owens in a 40-yard dash and it was surprisingly close
Chiefs star Tyreek Hill raced 46-year-old Terrell Owens in a 40-yard dash and it was surprisingly close
It appears that T.O. hasn't lost a stepwww.cbssports.com
Terrell Owens has been saying for years that he could still play in the NFL, and as it turns out, he might be right. Although T.O. hasn't played in an NFL game in nearly a decade, he apparently still has NFL speed and he showed that off this week during a 40-yard race against Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill that ended up being surprisingly close.
In most cases, when you have one of the fastest players in the NFL racing against a 46-year-old, it's not going to be close and the 46-year-old will likely have a heart attack, but this isn't most cases.
Hill and Owens were working out together recently when they decided to hold two races. The first race covered 100 yards and it seemed to serve as a test race so that Hill could gauge just how fast Owens is. In the 100-yard race, Hill gave Owens a 10-yard head start, which proved to be too much, because T.O. ended up hanging on for the win (You can watch that race by clicking here).
In the second race, the two speedsters changed the distance to 40 yards and that's when things got interesting.

Um what. Owens winning would have been the shocker of the century, but the fact that he kept it that close was also pretty surprising.
In the video, you can hear Hill's trainer say that Tyreek ran a 4.37 while T.O ran a 4.40 to 4.42. Owens didn't win the race, but running that kind of time at age 46 is absolutely bonkers. Most 46 year olds would probably tear both their hamstrings trying to race Hill, but not only did Owens pull it off, he kept it close (By the way, the race was hand-timed, so it's completely possible that final times weren't completely accurate. However, even if you had one-tenth of a second to Owens' time, 4.5 to 4.52 is still insanely impressive).
Owens was so fast that Hill actually complimented the Hall of Famer on Twitter.
Owens last played in an NFL regular season game back in 2010 when he was with the Bengals, and ever since that last game, he's been insisting that he could still play. As recently as 2017, Owens said it was a joke that no one was willing to sign him.
"Me not being on the field right now is a joke, and I don't care what people say," Owens said at the time.
As it turns out, he might have had a point.
The former 49ers, Cowboys, Eagles, Bengals and Bills receiver was named a first-team All-Pro a total of five times during his Hall of Fame career, which spanned from 1996 to 2010.
The joke is TO. Just play & prove it.He is a HOF player that is the truth & he was drafted after Bruuuce.
Who was the 3rd guy who TO smoked ?? T. Hill had TO beat pretty easy though.
It's National Junk Food Day! Show us your junk!
Yeah... That is what it looks like.
Makes me think of my next question;
What the hell is that?
National Media Downplays Rams/McVay

I agree with you on the importance of the line, but the statement about how good was Whit because of the players he lined up next to in 17 and 18 goes both ways. How he played last season most definitely was affected by the people he lined up next to last year as well.We all hope Whitworth improves from last year. But how much of his 2017 and 2018 performance came from having a borderline pro-bowl guard next to him in Saffold, and an ex-pro bowl veteran center in Sullivan making line calls? Now we have Blythe/Goff making the protection calls at the line, as well as a question mark starting next to Whitworth at guard now. Add to that he turns 39 years old in December.
I'm worried about Whitworth LESS than every other starter on our OL... that should indicate what kind of shape the OL is in and why it was ludicrous to enter the season adding no new talent. The entire season comes down to the OL.. not defense...not special teams..not pass catchers.. It's how the running game and Goff play this year and that all depends on the OL.
I would also say that Saffold wasn't boarder line all pro in 2016 so Whit and Sullivan probably made him better also.

Slot receivers typically run shorter routes in the middle portion of the field, using their agility and speed to get open quickly for their quarterbacks. There are a handful of big-time playmakers who line up most often in the slot, but typically, the best wideouts in the league play outside.
Robert Woods provides the Rams with versatility at the wide receiver position, showing he can play both in the slot and outside the numbers. When playing inside, he’s been a big-play machine for Los Angeles and Jared Goff, creating the third-most plays of at least 15 yards from the slot since 2018.

Woods doesn’t get much recognition as one of the best receivers in the league, but his back-to-back 1,100-plus yard seasons suggest he should be in that discussion. He’s dropped just six passes in the last two years and gained 996 yards after the catch, proving to be a highly reliable receiver for Goff.
The Rams will need him to keep making big plays in the passing game this season with Brandin Cooks gone, and there’s no reason to believe he won’t be up to the task. Woods has been that good since Los Angeles signed him as a free agent in 2017.
