NFL fans react to Tyreek Hill refusing to race with IShowSpeed at Dolphins training session: “Afraid to race him”

Tyreek Hill has been accused of cowardice after he refused to race IShowSpeed after the internet personality turned up at a Dolphins training session. The two were supposed to go head-to-head, with many curious to see how the Cheetah would fare.

Instead, fans were left disappointed after the football player declined to go ahead highlighting how he didn't have the right equipment at his disposal.

That caused people to flood X, formerly known as Twitter, with their reactions, and most of them were not kind to Tyreek Hill. They said that the wide receiver didn't fancy checking his speed against IShowSpeed.

Here are some of the reactions on the social media platform:

IShowSpeed has previously embarrassed Sauce Gardner

IShowSpeed could have embarrassed Tyreek Hill if given the opportunity. While we will not know for sure; he had previously exposed Sauce Gardner in a one-on-one situation. The Jets cornerback is one of the best defenders in the NFL, which is why it was such a surprise.

Tyreek Hill careful to preserve himself in training camp

Tyreek Hill has just been named as the best player in the NFL and signed a new contract that gives him $65 million in guaranteed money. He doesn't need to race IShowSpeed to prove his worth. Rather, he needs to stay healthy and avoid getting injured doing some gimmicks.

Last year, he suffered a leg injury towards the end of the season; while that didn't end his season, his production declined, and the Dolphins struggled. At one point, it had looked likely that he would hit 2,000 yards for the season, but he didn't.

Miami, meanwhile, having led the AFC East for most of the season lost their top seed in the division on the final day. Even though they had made the playoffs, they couldn't win a game away at Arrowhead.

Refusing to take IShowSpeed's bait probably shows that Tyreek Hill is focused on delivering when the season starts. He has seen his former teammates like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce add two Super Bowl rings, and that has affected his legacy.

The Dolphins have a team that should be challenging for titles. The wide receiver has received the biggest contract restructure that he could have hoped for. Hobnobbing with internet personalities is great for engagement, but they don't win championships. He needs to show the speed when it really matters, and he seems focused on that.
