Lions, cheetahs and Chiefs: Oh my! Tremon Smith is chasing Tyreek Hill

If Tyreek Hill is a cheetah, Tremon Smith figures he’s a lion.

The rookie cornerback, dubbed the second-fastest guy on the team by assistant head coach Dave Toub, knows he’s pretty fast, but he’s not quite Hill fast — yet.

“A lion is pretty fast,” Smith said after Thursday’s training camp practice. “Of course, it’s not a cheetah. I’m a little heavier. A lion is more dangerous, though.”

For the record, Google says a lion has a top speed of about 50 mph, while cheetahs top out at about 70 mph.
