Which sport features the best all-around athletes in the world?
Many may say basketball, as it is a fast-paced sport where one’s ability to run, jump, and make quick lateral movements is very important to their ability to excel.
Football is another sport where those abilities are important, and it also requires brute physicality and strength as much as any other sport.
But Tyreek Hill, the star wide receiver of the Miami Dolphins, had an interesting response when Robert Griffin III asked whether basketball or football players are better athletes.
Hill said lacrosse players are the best athletes, and it’s hard to tell whether he was joking or being serious.

Hill is one of the most impressive athletes in the NFL, and he has used his world-class speed to reach the Pro Bowl in each of his eight seasons in the NFL.
This past season, he led everyone with 1,799 receiving yards and 13 receiving touchdowns to help Miami to an 11-6 finish, which was their best record since the 2008 campaign.
When Hill was in high school, he was a track and field star; in fact, he was named “High School Athlete of the Year” in 2012 by Track and Field News.
His blazing speed led to him earning the nickname “Cheetah.”
Hill won a Super Bowl championship as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs during the 2019 season, and he’s hoping to help lead the Dolphins to their first Super Bowl ring since the 1973 season.
