KANSAS CITY, Mo. – De'Anthony Thomas was a sprinter on his track team in college and probably the fastest player on the Kansas City Chiefs during his first two NFL seasons.
He’s normally someone sure of his ability, and particularly his speed. But he has a challenger for the title of fastest Chief in rookie Tyreek Hill, who ran a 4.24 40 as he prepared for this year’s NFL draft.
Hill is fast enough that Thomas said he wasn’t sure whether he could beat the rookie in a 40-yard dash.
“There’s a lot of speed out there," Thomas said.
