Tyreek Hill felt kind of like a secret around Kansas City because his speed wasn’t known nationally. In Kansas City, however, we’ve been hearing Devin Hester comparisons from Dave Toub and we’ve seen the training camp practices and preseaosn games where he absolutely flies.
Tyreek began to hit the map last weekend with his nullified 105-yard reutrn but he got the Texans attention with the flopper himself, Charles James, saying he’s the fastest player in the league.
"He’s probably the fastest dude in the league right now, not even (joking)” Charles James on the Chiefs Tyreek Hill. #Texans

Meanwhile, the Jets have turned on the tape of the Chiefs to prepare for Sunday’s Week 3 matchup at Arrowhead. What did the Jets see?

And from the special teams coach:
#Jets STC Brant Boyer raaaaaaving about rookie Tyreek Hill. Said #Chiefs return man is a "special, special player" + "the total package."

He did score one receiving touchdown in Week 1 but until he becomes a regular on the field — nine offensive snaps in Week 1 and seven in Week 2 — it’s special teams where his impact will be felt. Give him a running start and, yeah, that is indeed lightning.
