Devon Allen is sure: He is the fastest player in the NFL. Even superstars D.K. Metcalf and Tyreek Hill are said to have no chance against him.

Devon Allen, backup receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, has great confidence. In the past, he has often let it be known that he considers himself one of the fastest players in the NFL. Now the 28-year-old has followed suit.

Allen, who has competed twice in the Summer Olympics as a hurdler, finishing fifth in Rio 2016 and narrowly missing out on a medal in Tokyo 2021 with fourth place, believes he is faster than NFL speedsters D.K Metcalf (Seattle Seahawks) and Tyreek Hill (Miami Dolphins). He told “TMZ” that.

When asked if there was anyone faster in the NFL, Allen answered unequivocally, “No, it’s definitely me. It’s definitely me. “

He added that while Metcalf and Hil’s speed would be undeniable, there would be a difference between being fast in the NFL and being fast in a “normal” sprint race.

While Tyreek Hill has actually been able to beat Devon Allen before, “I ran against Tyreek Hill when I was in high school and he beat me in the. It’s also super impressive that D.K., who’s 6’3″ and 107 pounds, ran 10.3 (seconds in the 100-meter dash) a few years ago.”

“But I think there’s a big gap in performance especially at the top of the world – in the top five, top 10 in the world,” Allen continued.

In the NFL, Allen has not been able to show his speed. He has been under contract with the Philadelphia Eagles since April 2022. However, he spent the whole of last season on the practice squad.
