Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill ran in his first track meet since 2014 this past Saturday, lining up in the 60 metres in the the 25-to-29-year-old division at the USATF Masters Championships.

Before last week, each of the other four guys in the race, hobbyists probably looking to crack 7.3 seconds, thought he had a strong chance to win.

Then Hill, a seven-time Pro Bowler, entered the race and sprinted to victory in 6.70 seconds, winning by a margin that befits his nickname.
