Noah Lyles called out NFL star Tyreek Hill by holding up a savage three-word sign after winning a race.
Lyles took part in a 60m sprint at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix last Sunday.
He crossed the finish line in 6.52 seconds, beating Bahamas' Terrence Jones, Italy's Marcell Jacobs and fellow Americans P.J Austin and Trayvon Bromell.
After winning the race, Lyles turned his bib to the camera, revealing a message to Miami Dolphins wide receiver Hill.
"Tyreek could never," he said, referencing Hill, who wasted no time in responding to his sporting rival.

On X, he wrote: "Get a load of this guy."
In another post, he added: "Who gave you that title ? Your Wikipedia page ?"
Lyles continued to taunt Hill after his victory.

"When you’re ready to actually put some words down, and you’re actually ready to race, see me," he told NBC Sports. "I’m right here. I ain’t going nowhere. But all I know is, your football season’s over. You ain’t got no excuse now."
Lyles added of Hill: "Tyreek is just chasing clout. Anytime somebody fast comes up, he says he wants to race them. If he really wanted to race people, he would’ve showed up, like DK Metcalf. The man raced in the 60m this year in the Masters division.
"The man dodges smoke. I don’t have time for that. If he’s truly serious about it - I’m not talking about you just talking on the internet and you ain’t actually coming to me and talking to my agent and saying let’s set something up - if you’re seriously about it, you’ll see me on the track."
Their feud started when Hill said he would beat the Olympian in a race.

He challenged the track and field star in August when the US sprinter won 100m gold, but he refused to wager his Olympic gold in a race.
Lyles said he would not even put his medal on the line if Hill wagered his Super Bowl ring, which he won with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019.
