Chiefs’ Tyreek Hill calls out former 49ers receiver Marquise Goodwin on ESPN, prompting response

Former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens looked pretty fast while showing that he still has some NFL-level speed, even at 46 years old. Of course, nothing can make you look pedestrian more than running next to NFL speedster Tyreek Hill of the Kansas City Chiefs.


Hill's quarterback, Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes, was impressed despite saying via Instagram that his receiver appeared to "let off the gas" at the end of the run.

Hill is tired of other players trying to lay claim to the title of "NFL's fastest." He made that clear during an interview on ESPN's First Take while calling out one former San Francisco 49ers wideout.

"If these people really wanted to race me, they would personally message me on Twitter, on Instagram," Hill said. "They wouldn't go on Twitter and then talk trash and don't act. If you're going to talk trash, at least at (@) me."

Host Max Kellerman asked Hill who "they" are.

"Marquise Goodwin, whoever," he responded. "Whoever wants to race me, we can do whatever. I already proved that I'm better than you at wide receiver. Now I've got to prove to you that I'm faster than you too? That's really going to hurt when I'm faster than you. And I move better than you? That's really going to hurt."


San Francisco traded Goodwin to the Philadelphia Eagles on April 25, after three seasons with the team. He is a former member of the United States track and field team and an Olympic long jumper. The receiver last year won the "40 Yards of Gold," a competition to determine the NFL's fastest player.

Although, Hill did not participate.


In 2018, reporters asked Goodwin about Hill, and who he felt was faster.

He responded: "I don't compare myself to anybody, but I mean..."

Goodwin then paused, rolled up his sleeve, and showed off his tattoo of the Olympic rings.

Hill later doubled down on his First Take comments, tweeting out, "I said what I said."




Update: Goodwin responded to Hill with the following tweet. The Chiefs receiver did ask any challengers to at (@) him on Twitter. You can't say Goodwin doesn't know how to follow directions.

49ers to host Marshawn Kneeland and Jamal Hill on pre-draft visits

The San Francisco 49ers' evaluation of draft prospects is underway. As part of their assessment, the team will welcome two players for visits: former Western Michigan edge rusher Marshawn Kneeland and former Oregon safety Jamal Hill. San Francisco recently agreed to terms on two-year deals with defensive ends Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos, bolstering its pass rush. However, after losing Clelin Ferrell in free agency and facing the likelihood of Chase Young playing elsewhere in 2024, the team appears keen on adding more explosiveness along the edges through the draft. Kneeland registered 57 tackles, including 7.5 for a loss, 4.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 10 game appearances with Western Michigan as a senior in 2023, per
