KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Mecole Hardman is probably faster than 99% of players in the NFL. Tyreek Hill happens to be in the 1%. The Chiefs wide receivers settled that when the two lined up for a race in their indoor facility this week. Hill won it easily, but the real winners might be the Super Bowl champions. They already had one of the fastest groups of wide receivers in the league, and they added speedy running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire to the mix in this year’s draft.

The two Chiefs wide receivers have traded barbs about their speed ever since Hardman was chosen in the second round of last year’s draft. Hardman and Hill both have world-class speed — that much was never in question — but just who was the fastest man in Kansas City wasn’t settled until the two lined up in the team’s indoor facility this past week.
