Hill's time wouldn't rank among the fastest 60-yard dashes in the world. It's nonetheless impressive for an NFL player who hasn't raced competitively in nearly a decade.
Saturday marked the first time in nine years that Hill competed in an indoor track event. The Dolphins wide receiver competed with Oklahoma State for the NCAA Division 1 Indoor Track & Field Championships. Hill was named the male 2014 Big 12 Indoor Track & Field Freshman of the Year.
At 29 years old, Hill is nearly as fast as he was during his freshman year at Oklahoma State. Hill set the school record with a 6.64-second 60-meter dash. Hill also ran 200 meters in 20.57 records, breaking an OSU record that had stood for 25 years. The football star placed fifth in the 2014 NCAA Indoor 200-meter dash
Hill ran the 40-yard dash in 4.29 seconds at his pro day before being selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
The Chiefs traded Hill to the Dolphins during the 2022 offseason. During his first year in Miami, Hill put up the best stats of his career. Hill finished second in the league with 119 receptions for 1,710 yards.
