Hill‘s stunning time was just a few 10ths of a second short of world record pace.

The former Chiefs speedster, nicknamed Cheetah, got a flying start as he took on four other competitors in Louisville.

Hill was appearing in the 25-29 age division in his first track race since 2014.

After kicking away from the blocks, the NFL star really hit the afterburners with around 30 meters to go.

And he stretched clear to win the event in style, tweeting afterward: “Never racing again had me out there looking wild.”

Hill is considered one of the fastest players currently in the NFL – but even his time surprised seasoned football fans.

One tweeted in shock: “That is ridiculous!”

Another added: “If I saw his jump I’m not even racing him. He dusted them and it wasn’t even close.”

While a third said: “Football players are the best ATHLETES in sports. Simple.”

And a fourth laughed: “WOW!! 1st time on the track in 9 years and Tyreek blow them away!! WAY TO GO TYREEK!!”

Meanwhile, a fifth wanted Hill to face up with sprinting legend Usain Bolt for a winner-takes-all race.

They wrote: “We want to see Tyreek vs Usain Bolt – I said it first…”

Hill is no stranger to track racing and was a star athlete during his time at high school and Oklahoma State.

During his senior year at Coffee High School in Douglas, Georgia, he ran a 10.19 in the 100m and a 20.14 in the 200m.

He also represented Team USA in the 2012 World Junior Championships, winning a gold medal in the men’s 4x100m relay.
