Here’s what the Patriots said about trying to stop Tyreek Hill

Matthew Slater doesn’t hesitate when asked if Tyreek Hill is the fastest player in the NFL.

“I certainly wouldn’t argue that he’s not,” Slater told reporters Tuesday.

Slater said the Kansas City wide receiver – who torched the Patriots for seven receptions, 142 yards, and three touchdowns in New England’s 43-30 win in October – is also dangerous because of his ability to accelerate and reach top speed like no other player in the league.

He praised Hill for his versatility and ability to thrive in many different ways, including as a return man.
