Parsons says Hill is NFL's fastest player despite beating him in race

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons may have won the fastest man race at the 2022 Pro Bowl Skills Showdown, but he won't call himself the fastest player in the NFL.

Parsons admitted after Thursday's competition that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who finished behind him, is truly the league's fastest man.

"I know he isn't coming out here and playing his best. He just played a couple days ago. He's the fastest man in the league. I'm just happy to be somewhere in the middle," Parsons said, according to Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith. "I do want a Madden 95 speed, though."

Parsons, selected 12th overall in 2021, recorded a 40-yard dash time of 4.39 seconds at his pro day, while Hill ran a 4.29-second 40-yard dash at his pro day prior to the 2016 draft.
